Q: What happened to Secure Empty Trash in OS 10.11?

I try to empty trash and, often, I'm told a file is "in use" when it is not. In fact, the application has been shut down. I used to get rid of the file or files by doing a secure empty trash, but that option seems to have evaporated under OS 10.11. It's still in the help files, but there's no way to do what the help file says. Is there some way I can get Secure Empty Trash back?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
