Mar 29, 2014 9:30 AM in response to BobRzby Carter Vo Nguyen,Sorry for the confusion. I meant to empty securely the trash is taking me forever since my trash is already too full. Is there any shortcut way to do it without spending too much time on it?
Thanks!

ApplicationsEmptying the Trash securely is very slow. If you really feel it's necessary, there is no shortcut.
