Trash locked files

I am very new to AppleScript and have no programming experience at all but
have learnt a lot from this forum, reading, cutting and testing different
things that others have tried out.

I have managed to make a backup script which runs on each operators Mac and
via iDo Script Scheduler copies daily jobs to an external HD.

One thing that has me stumped is how to delete locked files from the Trash?
The script is designed to trash files older than a specific date but find if
any of the moved files are locked the script cannot empty the trash and the
script errors, no backup is done.

Keep up the good work
John
