Request: empty Downloads folder

[Jb_Bryant]

I'm assuming this may be done with an applescript or something like that, but could someone give me some guidance as to how I could empty the Downloads folder with a workflow?

Well if you don't want to perform any checks on it or anything could just make it run a script that cd's to the folder and then runs 'rm -rf ./*'

I don't know much about AppleScript syntax... I guess I should hit the books.

Or you must mean a regular script. See how little I know.

I have a workflow that runs this bash script to empty the DL folder to the trash.

mv ~/Downloads/* ~/.trash/

That's perfect. I don't really want to use rm as I don't want them deleted immediately. Thanks!
