Emptying Trash....

I have over a period of time (1 year) had stuff in my trash bucket that will not empty.
These are items that came for CCC disk and from my Time Machine disk... Having no patients when trying to empty the trash.... You know those little warning windows.... The operation can’t be completed because ..... I stop the function and go get a cup of coffee .... Well it is getting serious now and I would like to clean house. How can I overide this "do it Apple's way" function.

Graham -- if the items are originally from external disks, they won't trash until you reconnect the disk and while it's mounted empty the trash.

Also -- that's a very bad habit! The trash is not a filing cabinet!

Yes, I understand the filing cabinet thingie.... I did this about 2 years ago and when the stuff would not empty I learned my goof..... It has been fermenting there ever since and I am frothing about the stuff and now was the time to do a serious cleaning.... (<:
