empty trash stuck!

anyone know how to force the trash to empty when it stalls? I think there's a sequence of keys, but can't remember. Thanks.

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 "
