Another method to empty trash that refuses to empty
What is the star for?
Another method to empty trash that refuses to empty
The '*' is a wild card character meaning everything. When you run the above command in the shell the shell (sh, bash, csh, ksh, zsh, etc) replaces the wildcard with a list of all matching files in the current working directory. In the case of the '*', all files are matched, so this command deletes everything in the trash.
Another way is better for me...
I use <a href="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10045">CanMan</a>. It force-empties the trash, and works great. No messing with the terminal, just click and watch the trash go away.

Unfortunately the CanMan site seems to be down or dead. Link to macupdate is fine but CanMan can't be found. Bummer. |
