How to empty trash mail mac 10.13.6

To empty the Trash on a Mac running macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), follow these steps:

1. Click on the "Finder" icon in the Dock to open a new Finder window.
2. Click on the "Trash" icon in the Finder window sidebar or navigate to the "Applications/Utilities" folder and double-click on the "Trash" icon.
3. Click on the "Empty" button at the top of the Trash window.
4. If you have any items in the Trash that you want to keep, you can select them and click the "Put Back" button to move them back to their original location.
5. If you're sure you want to permanently delete the items in the Trash, click the "Empty Trash" button.
6. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to empty the Trash. Click "Empty Trash" again to complete the process.

Alternatively, you can also empty the Trash using the keyboard shortcut:

• Command (⌘) + Shift + Delete

This will open the Trash window and prompt you to empty the Trash.

Note: If you have any items in the Trash that are locked or have been moved to the Trash from an external drive, you may need to use the "Secure Empty Trash" option instead. This will permanently delete the items and overwrite the space on your hard drive to prevent recovery.
