Trash It!

Trash It! Publisher's Description:
This AppleScript force-empties your Trash and/or removes stubborn items. Especially useful if you have files or folders in the Trash with permissions set incorrectly, locked Trash items, want to securely delete a stuck item, or trash items from other partitions. If you drop files or folders onto the Trash It! icon, it will delete them immediately. If you double-click on it, it will clean out your Trash can. Trash It! should be used when:

1. You can't get rid of trash items manually.

2. You can't move items to the trash.

3. You have a large number of items to delete (i.e., previous system folders).

4. You just like using cool scripts. :)


This is not a Finder trash can replacement! It should be used as a last resort!

What's new in this version:

• Updated 24U installer to 3.01 for Tiger as well as Panther. Reg. Code embedded in script, hence it being run-only. Will run the installer if your version is out of date from within Trash It!.

• Keychain Scripting isn't working as documented, so it was removed from Trash It!. Apparently caused by a Security Update from Apple in Panther and carried over into Tiger. Working on fix.

• Uses the new SRM included with Panther and Tiger, so it will use medium level deletion on run (see readme). Includes srm and directions for users without it installed. Not tested on Jaguar (don't have it).

• Now has a progress indicator bar
