Can't Empty the Trash

[vja4Him]

I still cannot empty the trash! Tons of error messages keep popping up:

The operation cannot be completed because the item "wmphelp.htm" is locked"
-- WMPIcon.gif is locked
-- windowshade.gif is locked
-- whatsnew.htm is locked
-- volume.gif is locked
-- viewinginfo.htm is locked
-- upgradingwmp.htm is locked
-- understandingwm.htm is locked
-- understandingstream.htm is locked

and hundreds, maybe even thousands of similar messages appear!! I must empty the trash. What can I do???

I don't see any of these items in the trash?

Help ... !!! Thanks.

Hello, Try using the AppleScript (Force Empty Trash) in window 18.
