Hi,

How exactly do you make the trash empty? Are you trying to delete trash directory manually from inside of the File Manager?

yes, but is there are any option to make trash empty?

I see what you mean now…

Well, perhaps now we need Empty Trash link in context menu. Meanwhile, to delete .Trash directory, when safe deletion is enabled, after you called context menu (right mouse click or ctrl+left mouse click), simply hold ⌥ Option or Alt key to have the menu change the link to Delete, the same way it happens in MacOS.

Thank for the help, I think adding that option would be increase user friendliness
