Trash emptying lots of files, how long will this take?
I am using Time Machine to back up on a G Drive device. For days I've been getting messages that there isn't enough room to back up, so I deleted a folder from several weeks ago. It is taking FOREVER to delete these files in the Trash. Progress is happening—it's up to "204,900 items deleted (1,075,000 and counting items inside Library)"—yikes! How long is this going to take? I have no way of knowing the total, and I certainly don't want this to be deleting forever. Is there some way to just eliminate the literally hundreds of thousands of files? Thank you
