I have the trash dialog box up, and it's frozen. What process needs to be killed in order to remove it, without having to restart?

1it will only stop the finder, no other apps. since the finder is what is frozen, it would be what you have to kill Oct 12, 2012 at 1:51
Relaunch the Finder if you don't want to use the terminal. Apple menu > Force quit... > Finder > Relaunch.

If you want to stop ONLY the Empty Trash process, open the Activity Monitor utility and force quit the Locum process.
Enter your admin password when requested.
