programmatically force deletion of files
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I use NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace method recycleURLs: completionHandler: to delete files.
If the user does not have the correct permissions e.g. to delete from /Applications this produces an error.
Finder prompts the user for the sudo password then proceeds to delete files.
While it is easy enough to detect the error, and prompt the user, I can't figure out how I could then programmatically force deletion.
