<p>Tired of having to approve the Trash being emptied in Mac OS X? You can either <strong>hold down the Option key</strong> when emptying the trashcan, or you can turn off the Trash warning dialog window completely in Finder preferences:</p>

<ul>

<li>From the desktop, click on the “Finder” menu and choose “Preferences”</li>

<li>Click on the “Advanced” tab</li>

<li>Uncheck the box next to “Show warning before emptying the Trash”</li>

</ul>

<p>From here on out you won’t get a dialog confirmation when emptying the Trash.

<p>While you’re in the Advanced Finder preferences, you might want to enable the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/02/07/how-to-always-secure-empty-trash/">always “Empty Trash securely”</a> feature as well, just be aware that it makes the recovery of any data deleted practically impossible.</p>
