Happens for me in Ubuntu 14.04 and still in 15.10. Actually I tried upgrading just to get rid of this issue but was disappointed.
The trash bin is full in the bottom left corner of the left dock. Click to open and there's nothing inside. I wonder if this is a problem after erasing from removable storage media e.g. USB disk. At any rate, if the Empty Trash is clicked either from the left dock (right clicking on the bin), or the Empty button from inside the Trash folder it should _always_ reset the state of the icon in the left dock to "empty". This should be a relatively simple fix. Please change the code to do this. How many more releases until it's fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-applets in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269441 Title: Trash always full Status in gnome-applets package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've seen other users having problems with that the trash appears empty even though it isn't.
