when I try to secire delete the trash I get a pop up with 3 options "cancel" "remove unlocked items" and "remove all items"
when I chose either of the the latter two it attempts to delete a few items then simply stops.
How do I force it to secure delete or how do I identify and remove the problem item(s) from the trash?
Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Goto Finder > Help > type in Trash...
From Finder Help Trash...
" Empty the Trash
Command (⌘)-Shift-Delete
Empty the Trash without any warning or when it contains locked files
Command (⌘)-Shift-Option-Delete
Hold down the Option key, and then choose Finder > Empty Trash "
