Hi Pamela. When I do this, I first select all the files I want to delete. Then I press command delete to send all the files to the trash. Then use command shift delete to start the emptying the trash process. I do it in Finder while in the downloads folder. This may be an extra step, but it helps if I happen to delete something I didn’t want to delete because the computer asks you if you really want to empty the trash.
