Use the power key, held down for 10-15 seconds, to turn off your computer. Your trashed files should remain in the Trash. Open Terminal (Applications>Utilities folder) and copy and paste the following:
sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash
You'll be prompted for your administrator password and you may get a warning which you can safely ignore.
Your Trash should be emptied.
Good luck,
Clinton
