A smarter way to empty Trash on your MAC
Have you ever got some troubles on empty Trash like these?
There's always a popup when I take this action
Can not empty my Trash because some files are running/locked
You can easily solve these problems by entering codes below in your Terminal:
rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
To make it easier to call, you can add this function in you .bash_profile, .zshrc etc. then the function in terminal by its name :
function cleartrash() {
rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
}
If you are an advocate of shell script, you can also make this a shell script:
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
It's easy, but helpful to me.
