Use Secure Empty Trash to avoid 'in-use' issues
Authored by: wallybear on Feb 05, '04 12:43:13PM
Did you tried simply:

sudo rm -rd /Users/reutter/.Trash/incoming

(you will lose also the "incoming" directory)
or

sudo rm -rd /Users/reutter/.Trash/incoming/*

It should suffice.

sudo rm -rf /Users/reutter/.Trash/incoming
will work better
-r for recursive
-f for force
