Sorry, folks. This is the totally wrong direction.

If anything, there might be file system inconsistencies (those may,
of course, come from a bad block device). But then you should see
the problems at boot, since file systems are checked before mount
on a regular schedule.

No, if some files end up *cleanly* in the trash folder (which is just
a regular directory in the same file system), this is *not* a symptom
for a bad file system (or, as you imply, a bad block device).
