Hi,

I tried what you said and it didn't work the files are still there
I can create files and put them in trash and can get rid of them except for 
those particular files
What originally happed was, I was copying an old dvd to the hard drive because 
it had some files that were bad
when it was copying it would come up with cannot read a particular file would 
you like to retry, skip or continue
so i would have a folder that was incomplete. I would try again and again each 
time putting the folders into trash
so now I have 6 folders of the same type in trash that will not erase

Subject: [Bug 486048] Re: directories in trash cannot delete had trouble 
copying them and put them in trach

I was unable to recreate this in 9.04.  However, I was able to add
folders owned by me, containing files and folders owned by root (700,
actually with anything xx0) to the trash, and then empty the trash.

Is this supposed to happen anyway?  It doesn't seem logical that a user
should be able to delete files and folders owned and only accessible to
root.

Can anyone else confirm on 8.04?  Try testing with following command:

cd
mkdir test
sudo mkdir test/testing
sudo chmod 700 test/testing

Then add to trash, and then attempt to empty trash.
