How to remedy: un-deleteable ghost alias in Trash

[mellowsmoothe]

I've got 4 of these "ghost aliases" in my trash and I cannot delete them. I've tried killing them off one by one, pulling to the desktop and re-trashing, etc. All other normal files go to trash and delete normally, but this aliases stay in the trash no matter what I do.

Image of the trash attached. Suggestions?

Much appreciated!

If you are familiar with Terminal, you could try:

sudo rm -rf /Users/USERNAME/.Trash/*

Just replace USERNAME with your login username. Not sure if it will work, but hope it helps.
