That doesn't make sense to me.

- if the files are gone... well, possibly
- if they (or more precisely, some their fragments, with no
  names) appear in /.lost+found (after an fsck) quite probably

But the regular trash folder? My first guess is "the user did
that" (of course without noticing: "modern DEs" are complex enough
to make such a scenario plausible). My second guess would be some
bug in the desktop environment (or in some extension thereof).
