Simple AppleScript applet that will empty the Trash with root privileges. In order to do that the user has to be an Administrator, or at least listed in /etc/sudoers file. In case of multiple volumes the user is prompted for selective deletion.

Not compatible with Pathfinder??

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I've tried SET several times, and so far I've been unable to get it to work. I emailed the developer 5 days ago and have received no reply. When I open SET, I get the following error message: <b>Can't make name of every class cdis application "Pathfinder" whose class isrv = true into type reference.</b>

It appears that SET does not currently work with Pathfinder.
Great app

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I had some pesky trash items on OSX Server 10.3.9 that would not delete. The other applications out there in this category would not empty the trash from a second volume. This one got rid of everything!
Great little app

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I had a folder in trash with 82 invisible items. This folder could not be deleted or moved anywhere. Batchmod's and Onyx's "force empty trash" or First Aid didn't work. Super Empty Trash did it by launching! GREAT! Thanks very much
work fine
