Also, usually sudo isn't needed for the user's ~/.Trash
instead, just hold the option key while selecting Empty Trash in Finder.


Thirdly, it's always better to list the trash contents beforehand, to see what's in there, and find out why they would present a problem at all (if any)... rather than just blindly deleting unknown items.
