I was receiving a permissions error when trying to delete my trash (had an old kernel owned by root in there). I don't know why I expected the Trash to actually be a folder @ /home/entropyv/Desktop/Trash, but I did.
Incase anyone is ever searching with a similar issue, it was actually @ /home/entropyv/.Trash (notice, hidden).
solving the issue was a simple matter of :
chown -R entropyv.entropyv /home/entropyv/.Trash
Solved my own problem, but I thought I would share, and request someone who's using KDE could comment. I could check, but that would interrupt my posting.
