Trash It!

Force-empty your trash can.

Trash It!Overview

Trash It! is an AppleScript-based application that force-empties your Trash and/or removes stubborn items. Especially useful if you have files or folders in the Trash with permissions set incorrectly, locked Trash items, want to securely delete a stuck item, or trash items from other partitions. If you drop files or folders onto the Trash It! icon, it will delete them as well. If you double-click on it, it will clean out your Trash can. This is the software recommended by Apple Tech support when all else fails!

Trash It! should be used when:

  • You can't get rid of trash items manually.
  • You can't move items to the trash.
  • You have a large number of items to delete (i.e., previous system folders).
  • You just like using cool scripts. :)

This is not a Finder trash can replacement! It should be used as a last resort!

NEW

  • Fixed a bug introduced in 6.0
  • New algorithms for faster usage.
  • Should get rid of Time Machine files accidentally dragged to the trash. Please read the readme file for more info.
  • Code optimization changes.
