Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

cd
cd ~/.local/share/Trash/files

Be ABSOLUTELY sure you are in the /home/your_username/.local/share/Trash/files/ to check it please type:

pwd

Then to clean ALL file in your Trash please type:

sudo rm -fr *

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
