Title:
  gvfsd-trash uses 50GB of memory and crashes pc

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Every day this week every few hours my pc would suddenly freeze. I
  noticed this morning in System Monitor that an app called gvfsd-trash
  was at 30GB RAM. I killed it. It restarted itself and in a few minutes
  went up to 50GB.

  Google said it had something to do with the recycle bin. So I tried to
  empty that but my file explorer hung and it said The name:1.183 was
  not provided by any .service files.

  So I downloaded trash-cli from apt and tried trash clear. That still
  didn't help.

  So I went into ./local/share/Trash and there was some file in there
  with restricted permissions. So I used sudo rm -rf and it seems to
  have finally stopped.

  People, whatever this app is doing, please let it handle files it
  doesn't have permission to access without bringing down the whole
  system! Thanks.

  Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS with all updates
