Cannot empty trash because item is in use
Authored by: marshaul on Aug 22, '13 12:06:39PM
What's the point of CDing in the first place? Why not:

rm -rf ~/.Trash

There's no point to changing to that directory if you only wish to perform a single action in that directory.

Even better:

rm -rf ~/.Trash; rm -rf /Volumes/*/.Trashes
