Well, the easiest way would be to drag everything else out of the trash and then empty it. * * * A quicker method would be to open the Terminal and type: rm [space] …for “remove,” then drag the file into the Terminal window and press [return]. * * * If the file is being particularly obstinate, there’s probably a problem with its permissions. In this case, just type: sudo rm [space] … for “superuser do remove,” then drag the file into the Terminal window and press return. It will prompt you for the root password (probably your administrator-level password) and, if correctly authorized, will then delete the file. * * * One caveat: if the file you’re trying to remove from the Trash is a text clipping, dragging it into the Terminal will bring in the *contents* of the clipping instead of the name, so neither the second nor the third method will work. And finally, fwiw, I gave you +2 for your question. I’m not sure why it was DRed, but it seems like a good question to me!
