Trash It!

Trash It! is a super simple and user-friendly macOS app that uses AppleScript to help you force empty your Trash when nothing else seems to work.

Why Use Trash It?

If you ever find yourself stuck with files or folders in the Trash that just won't go away, this app is your best friend! It's perfect for dealing with items that have broken or incorrect permissions. Plus, it can help you delete locked files or even stuff from other partitions on your Mac.

Permanently Deleting Files

What's really cool about Trash It! is that you can instantly remove items from your hard disk without having to send them through the Trash bin first. So, if you're tired of the old way of emptying the Trash, this app has got your back.

Easy to Get Started

Getting started with Trash It! is a breeze! Just download the light archive, extract it, and drop the applet wherever you like on your Mac. You can easily drag and drop any files or folders you want to delete right onto its icon.

Selective Deletion

A little heads up: when you drag items onto Trash It!, you're only choosing to delete those specific files or folders—not what's already sitting in the Trash. To clear out what's in the Trash, you'll need to open up Trash It! and pick how you'd like to delete things.

Caution: Non-Reversible Actions

Remember, once you hit OK after selecting what to delete, there's no turning back! So it's a good idea to double-check before confirming any deletions.

Your Deletion Options

The main window of Trash It! gives you two options for deleting things. The “Fast” option usually does the trick, but if your Trash still refuses to cooperate, try out the “Really Stuck” function for a forceful emptying.

The Perfect Solution for Your Mac

If you've ever had trouble emptying your Mac's Trash or deleting stubborn files from your desktop, then Trash It! is just what you need!
