I dunno about that problem (do you own the files you're trying to
delete?), but if you want to delete files, try using a delete command
rather than "move to trash, then empty trash."  Have you done the "empty
trash" step, too?

I always set the option to show an actual delete command in the Nautilus
file browser.  If I actually want to delete files, then messing around
with the trashcan is a timewaster.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point
trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
