I've tried to use other methods, such as unlocking the app, repairing

of is to do a clean install and reformat the computer, but that's a
drastic measure. Does anyone have any idea that I can try before I have
to do the reformatting? TIA

Try holding down the option key while emptying the trash.

If that doesn't work, try this in Terminal from your admin account:

sudo rm -rf ~redhenk/.Trash [where "redhenk" is your short user name]

Then log out of your user account and log back in.
