Please use v5.x if you experience this problem. There is a hardware bug with 10.6 running on certain Macs that causes Trash It! to unexpectedly quit on launch. Release your hold on the Shift key when you see the Apple logo on the screen with its progress bar. Press and hold the Shift key during the bootup process. Please note: Older versions of Trash It! are available here. Shut down your Mac device, then press the power button again to restart your Mac device. This is not a Finder trash can replacement! It should be used as a last resort! You’re ready to pull your hair out because nothing seems to be working! :).You have a large number of items to delete (e.g., previous system folders).You can't get rid of trash items manually.This is the software Apple Tech recommends when all else fails (according to users)! If you double-click on it, it will empty your Trash can. If you drop files or folders onto the Trash It! icon, it will delete them. Especially useful if you have files or folders in the Trash stuck in the trash, need to delete locked files/folders, or want to delete large amounts of files/folders very quickly. Trash It! is a little application force-empties your Trash.
