Apple

I didn't quit experimenting, and this handler seems to work ...

on TrashIsEmpty(diskAlias)

quoted form of (POSIX path of ((diskAlias as text) & ".Trashes:"))

set sizeText to do shell script "ls -Rsk " & the result

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"total"}

set sizeList to (text items of sizeText)

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}

repeat with i from 2 to (count items of sizeList)

try

(text item 1 of (item i of sizeList)) as integer

if the result > 0 then return false

end try

end repeat

return true

end TrashIsEmpty ------------------------------------------

But, will this report trash size for all users? And, should I care?

This seems like something that Finder or System Events should be able to do. But, can they?
