Deleting Stuff

[starone]

I have asked this before, I know, a long time ago, but I have forgotten how to do it and lost the answer (I have looked I promise). How do I delete all the items in my trash file - not the one in the icon section but the one where it tells me I have over 2,000 items. I know I could get rid of them one at a time but it will take me forever, or at least all day, and I would like to erase them in one fell swoop. Thanks a lot all you cleverclogs.
