Empty Trash deletes stubborn trash files.

This script gets all the items which are in the Trash, converts their paths to unix style paths appropriate for Mac OS X, and uses the shell command "rm -rf" to remove them permanently from your drive(s).

The script was written to address the frequently occurring error -8062 (whatever the heck that is) when attempting to empty the Trash when it contains items from a removable drive such as a FireWire external, Compact Flash card, etc.

What's New:
  • Fixed a bug where files with special unix characters in the filename would not be deleted.
