Q: deleting "locked" files from the trash

I have a very large number of old files in the trash (have actually moved them from one drive to another)

 

when I try to empty the trash, I get a message that these files are "locked and cannot be deleted."

 

I can push the unlock button, which is easy enough, except that I have thousands of these files that I am trying to empty from the trash.

 

Help!  Any suggestions ?

 

thanks!
