How to Empty Trash in Gnome When the Trash Can Refuses to Clear
Sometimes you'll find some files in your trash that just won't go away. And unlike what many forums say, the Trash in Gnome is not in the .Trash directory in /home (At least not in my Fedora 10 and Linux Mint). So this is what you'll have to do:

WARNING: Be very careful about "sudo rm -rf" --it's a very powerful and dangerous command and inspect where you're going to apply it
Code:
sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/*
