You mentioned the problem in p.beta-test twice, but never bothered to
follow-up to other people asking for more information as they could not
reproduce your problem.  How you think a problem you seem to be having can get
fixed if you are not even willing to take the time to provide essential
information to those who are trying to help you?

Putting the beta into your trash and forgetting about it will surely not make
the problem go away in a future beta, you know...

Well, if you are unable to follow the very simple instructions the Finder will
present to you in a modal alert box, I am sorry.  The ability to read
instructions shown on screen is still required to use a computer:

"The Trash cannot be emptied because all of the items in it (other than
folders) are locked. To delete locked items, hold down the Option key while
you choose Empty Trash."

Not to mention this tip can also be found *easily* in the Finder help, on the
internet and in many Mac magazines.
