[Solved] Best practice to empty trash

I'm coming from Manjaro Cinnamon where there was an 'Empty trash' button top-right of the window when I was in the Trash folder.
Now in Q4OS Trinity do I simply select all my files and delete them from my trash folder, to empty my trash? I'm hoping for a more elegant method ;-)

Hello

In dolphin, you just have to open the Trash folder, right-click anywhere in the folder and click "Empty Deleted Items Folder"

FTR, AutoTrash might be useful for the task, too:

If you have a Trash shortcut on the Desktop, you can just right mouse click on it and there will be Empty Trash option on the drop-down menu.
