The following Apps will “Force Delete” ....
Cocktail...Onyx...PantherCache Cleaner..
Start up in Safe Mode. (shift at startup)
This prevents non-Apple apps from loading. Trash the offending app and restart.
Use Terminal to ...
Force-empty the trash or Force-delete an item from desktop..
1. Launch Terminal.
2. Type sudo rm -rf <space> (or copy/paste)
2a. You can use sudo rm <space> , but it will not work with a folder.
3. Drag the offending file into the Terminal window. The path to it will appear.
4. Click on Terminal window, press Return and type your administrator password.
5. Press Return.
6. Click on the Desktop or the Trash window and the file will vanish.
Note.. If you attempt the above again within five minutes, steps 4/5 are not required.
