After eloquently arguing why "Emptying trash contents" is gramatically
incorrect, you spoiled it :o)  Admittedly we don't talk about trash and
trashcans over here anyway so maybe I'm just missing the idiom... but
deleting something "in" something sounds just as wrong to me.  

Don't you have to delete things *from* something...?  "Permanently
delete all items from the trash can", perhaps...?  (Actually I think
"remove" reads better than "delete" here, but I appreciate that perhaps
doesn't convey the permanence quite so well).

Cheeri,
Calum.
