Annoyed with heap of file which are consuming space in your trash bin and you can not do a thing about it? Every time you try to delete it from there, permissions violation errors generate. So what do you do? Will you keep it there ignoring anything? Well, I haave a solution for you.

Open a terminal and run these following commands:

cd ~/.local/share/Trash/files
sudo rm -Rf *
cd ~/.local/share/Trash/info
sudo rm -Rf *

Be sure that you are inside Trash before running the sudo rm -Rf command.
