Here are two ways to empty the trash on your Mac:

Method 1: Using the Trash icon

1. Click on the Trash icon in your Dock.
2. In the Finder window that opens, do one of the following:
   • Empty all of the Trash: Click the Empty button in the top-right corner of the window. Alternatively, click on Finder in the menu bar, then choose Empty Trash.
   • Empty one item from the Trash: Control-click on the specific item you want to delete and choose Delete Immediately. Confirm the deletion in the pop-up window.

Method 2: Using keyboard shortcuts

• Empty all of the Trash: Press Command + Option + Shift + Delete.
• Empty one item from the Trash: Select the item in the Trash window, then press Option + Command + Delete.

Note: In both methods, a confirmation dialog will appear asking if you are sure you want to empty the Trash. Click Empty Trash to confirm.

Additional options:

• Prevent the Trash warning message:
  • Once: Hold the Option key while clicking the Empty button or choosing Empty Trash from the menu.
  • Always: Go to Finder > Preferences > Advanced, then uncheck the box next to “Show warning before emptying the Trash.”
