What about deleting the Trash content from the terminal:? Usually, following the command format below presented below:

sudo rm -r /media/Storage/.Trash-1000/*

Trash usually have the hidden attribute presented by the dot (.) before the name (i.e: .Trash-1000).

You could try installing nautilus-open-terminal to make the process easier, you just have to right-click inside the folder (.Trash-1000) and issue the delete command presented above.

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

HTH.

Ian

To be exact, the sample delete command should be:

sudo rm -r /media/Storage/.Trash-1000/files/*
