Just guessing, but it appears that the user 'pamela' once tried to copy some system files and directories and did not specify a destination, so they were copied to the ~/pamela directory, then they deleted those and that moved those files and directories to the ~/pamela/trash directory. I'd just delete them all with rm /home/pamela/trash/* . Even if any are links to real system files and directories, that should just delete the links after asking for confirmation. Once you see that, you can Ctrl-C, then use rm -rf /home/pamela/trash/* .
