1 Million Items to Trash!
I tried emptying my trash can the other day only to find that i had over One and a half million items in there! after leaving it for the weekend i still had more than a million to delete so i had to resort to the Terminal. And gained myself an extra 10 gig in the process!
So i thought i would write a quick reminder to myself how to quickly empty the trash can instead of using the Finder tool which takes ages!
>> cd ~/.Trash
>> sudo rm -r *

I usually use rm -rf * since sometimes I have .svn directories and thelike. So I force rm to do its job
