"Trash It!" for 10.14? - trying to empty trash

[bluewonderful5234]

I have an external hardrive. I was deleting some TimeMachine backups to free space. For some reason, the backups are stuck in the trash bin, having not deleted properly.

This happened to me years ago. I used an application called "Trash It!", which emptied my trash bin at the click of a button.

It appears to me that "Trash It!" does not work with the current OS. Is there an alternative?

TrashIt 7.5 was just released a few days ago and works perfectly under the latest macOS Mojave.

I had the same occurrence about a year ago. I learned the hard way that going into Time Machine and deleting backups manually can cause problems. I tried numerous fixes, but in the end I wound up having to wipe my backups and make a new fresh one. I do not remember all of the details, but ti worked for me.
