I was going to delete the Time Machine backups. I made a mistake and instead of deleting them using Time Machine, I just moved the Backups.backupdb folder to the trash. Now, if I try to empty the trash, Finder attempts to count the number of files that will be deleted, and this process is incredibly time-consuming, because the Finder tries to count each file in each backup.

'Once, my little brother told me that he saw so many photos of me when he was recovering lost data from the Mac that I gave him a few weeks ago. I make sure that I had deleted all my private photos and emptied the trash bin before I sent that Mac to him. It is so embarrassing because I don’t want my family members to see my private photos, especially those unconstrained selfies. So I think the question - how to securely and permanently delete Mac files? Now I am using a Mac with macOS Sierra system. I delete files every day, but what is the right way to securely empty Mac trash bin under macOS 10.12 Sierra and permanently destroy all deleted/lost data and erase traces?'
