A relatively safe method of deleting trashed locked files

If you want to wipe out your whole Trash (as this hint suggests), you can also do

cd /.Trashes; sudo rm -rf *

without any dragging from the Finder.

cd /.Trashes

Are you sure about this?

Cd'ing into the .Trashes at the root level, I don't think will get rid of user's trash.

Ah yes. Sorry, you're right there! Ignore the above.
