Want to empty trash with deleted user, have tried every single terminal code...

[RPS]

Ok, I am logged in as a root. I want to delete an empty folder calle "h". It was a test user. It's in the trash, but i want to empty the trash. I cant. They say i dont have permissions to do so. So I search for topics about this and not ONE has helped me since I tried all the codes in the terminal app and it didnt work. They did trash other files in my trash, but not this one. Then i downloaded BatChmod, and that didnt work either. Im getting a bit frustrated with with this problem since you could compare it to an itch and you cant scratch it.

sudo rm -r foldername

take it out of the trash first maybe?

[RPS]

I can't take it out cause supposedly I don't have permissions to do so.

hmm, sounds messy

this is why its bad to log in as root

[RPS]

What makes you say it has anything to do with logging in as a root?

type in the terminal
"sudo rm -rf " (there is a space after the -rf)
then drag the folder from the trash to the terminal window.
press enter
enter the password
hopefully it should delete the folder

it says directory not empty but it is

[gigi]

did you put in the "-rf" after the "rm" command ?
I was my understanding that "rm -rf" command would delete a directory even if it wasnt empty.
