Emptying Secure Trash Bin

I have problem emptying my Trash bin. Clicking "Empty Trash" directs to a dialogue box asking "Secure Empty Trash" and leads to another dialogue box with 3 options. After I chose "Remove all Items". It shows I have >1600 items but nothing happened after clicking "Remove All Items".

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
