Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

With hardy, the contents of the trash is at ~/.local/share/Trash, but
users who upgrade from gutsy may still have files in the old location,
~/.Trash.

There are two issues here: first, these files appear to be "lost" to the
user. Users expect to be able to recover stuff from the Trash, and may
be dismayed to find that after the files which they expect to be in the
Trash are "no longer there". (That is to say, when they open the Trash,
they won't see the old contents that is hidden away  in ~/.Trash --
their files appear to be gone forever.) The second issue is that the
contents of ~/.Trash may be consuming disk space that is not recovered
by "emptying the trash" (because emptying the trash only empties the new
trash).

(I don't know if "nautilus" is the appropriate package -- sorry.)
