It sounds like you need to reinstall some. Which desktop are you using?

The interaction should go something like this... Place something in the trash. Right click the trash icon. A small popup should show up with three lines:
    Trash
    1 item in trash
    Empty Trash
Left click on Empty Trash. A dialog asking "Empty all items from Trash?" should show up. Click on the "Empty Trash" button.
