How to delete individual items from OS X Trash

I recently ran out of hard disk space and figured the best way of getting some back quickly was to delete some Trash. Unfortunately I didn’t want to delete everything because you never know when something might come in handy. All I wanted to do was delete certain files.

All you need to do is open the Trash in Finder, open a Terminal window and in Terminal type rm

Then you just drag the items you don’t want into the Terminal window and press enter. That will permanently delete them.
