I had the same problem and found my solution here at http://www.blog
.arun-prabha.com/2008/07/22/deleting-files-from-roots-trash-folder-in-
ubuntu/.  I did not have to re-install the OS.

Apparently when the network share drive fails to mount due to the fstab
problem (network not up, drive will not mount), sBackup creates the
backup in your root folder.  The procedure at this site outline the
steps to clear the hidden backup folder/file then describes how to
delete them from the root Trash folder.  I just cleared up 22 Gib of
reported space.  Kudos to Arun Subramanian’s Blog (Deleting files from
root’s trash folder in Ubuntu)!

I hope this helps
