Then, using the command, find /Users/USER_NAME/.Trash/ -name "filename.ext" -delete you need to change the USER_NAME part to your mac username and the filename.ext to the actual file name, photo.jpg. Lets say the username is Steve, so we now have the command find /Users/Steve/.Trash/ -name "photo.jpg" -delete Pop that in to terminal and hit enter. The file photo.jpg will be removed from the Trash bin. Hope that helps Ok

Lets say the username is Steve, so we now have the command find /Users/Steve/.Trash/ -name “photo.jpg” -delete
Pop that in to terminal and hit enter. The file photo.jpg will be removed from the Trash bin.
