I deleted some folders off my external USB hard drive and the Trash will not 
let me remove all the files.  When I emptied the Trash most of the folders and 
files were removed but I still have about 100 MB that it won't allow me to 
remove.  When I checked the hidden directories on the USB drive they were still 
there.  I have tried numerous commands (that I saw on the Ubuntu forums, etc 
and they are still there.  
This is really annoying, if the files can't be removed why was I allowed to 
move them to Trash in the first place?  I have used gksudo nautilus to try to 
delete them from the Trash and it still does not let me.  I also tried to 
change their permissions but still did not have any luck.
