I have more questions than answers, I'm trying to understand your situation so I can help.


How did you get folder to the trash in the first place?

You should probably not be deleting stuff from under the Library folder using Finder.


Furthermore:

1) You'd use the Go menu exactly the same way, whether in Safe Mode or not;

2) How would opening the Library folder in Safe Mode help in emptying the trash?
