Can’t Empty The Trash Can

If you have trouble emptying the trash this morning, here’s a helpful tip.

Your OS is essentially telling you the file is in use, but the application is close.

Nothing like running rm -rf on the trash folder.

# Go the trash directory and delete all!
cd ~/.Trash
rm -rf *

# Go the trash directory and delete all! cd ~/.Trash rm -rf *

The file is gone!
