Can't empty trash



Since my upgrade to Squeeze, I have discovered ALL previous deleted files and folders plus recently deleted (since upgrade) show up in trash and I can't delete them. I get a 'file operations' window with a bar graph that says preparing but when checked -- everything is still there. There is some 20G of folders and files that need to be removed to free up HD space. Any suggestions?

Just checked some files and I as the user have only read only permission -- I know I should change ownership to read/write -- before I try this -- 'chown ve3sjv /Desktop/Trash' Is that where Trash resides and is that the correct format?
