Hi guys, I dont know if its possible, but am I able to delete just a single folder from the trash or do I have to actually delete the whole trash. I have a large file I want to delete but unsure if I want to actually delete other things. I know that I should just take those files out of the trash but was just wondering if it was possible? Thanks in advance.

You could drag out the other items onto the desktop/some temporary folder first? Then move them back after you've emptied the trash with that one file
