This is normal. GVFS is a userspace filesystem used by GNOME to mount
and present external filesystems on USB sticks, CD/DVDs or network.

Looking at the .gvfs directory of a user as root looks like the above
and cannot be deleted or changed, while anything using GVFS is active.

Do not worry, everything is perfectly normal and fine, nothing is
broken.
