Sorry guys, I am a bloody old fool. There is no bug. I had left the "search" feature turned on from a few days earlier, & didn't notice that the next time that I looked at trash.
I must say, I was additionally sucked-in, because I had read a bug a while ago that had the symptoms which I thought that I was experiencing. Not long ago, I had also had problems with sync getting unsynced, so no deletions were occurring. I was nervous about that "fix" of deleting files. By the way, it is not easy to to report a bug. If I click on Evolution -> Help -> Submit Bug Report, I get the message: "Bug buddy is not installed". Does that mean that this function is disabled, or that I should download something? I did read the wiki in an attempt to understand what to do. From that I ran something (perhaps it was "ubuntu-bug"), which collected various bits of info, & then put me on to a wiki, but clicking "submit a bug" seemed to put me in a bit of a repetitive loop. I think that the info was lost during this activity. I mistakenly thought that apport only worked when there was an actual failure. I can now see that it collects information regardless, so I will make a note to use "ubuntu-bug" if I have any further issues.
