Data Can't empty trash in OS X!

I trashed Adobe Acrobat (not Acrobat Reader today) because Adobe screwed up my licensing; their solution was to issue me a new serial number (thanks, guys). Anyhoo, I can't delete all of the Acrobat folder from my trash in OS X, nor can I move it out of the trash (it just copies). Any suggestions? I can't boot from OS 9 because I won't have access to the same trash bin, nor can I login as root for the same reason. I tried Pseudo and was able to get a crack at it, but the permissions won't budge. Help!
