When I had this problem in in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron),  the following
worked for me:

1. Go to .local/share/Trash/files in your ´home´ directory, for example on the 
command line:
     cd .local/share/Trash/files
2. Type in: sudo rm -r name_of_folder

Maybe it is best to check folder and file permissions before trying to
send stuff to the wastebasket? The security in Linux also makes for a
bit more work. Worth it though!

I was trying to get rid of an old edition of the Eclipse IDE. It just
didn´t want to budge!
