Friends: I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. My trash bin has numerous files, folders, .jpgs, .mpgs, etc., many of which I don't recognize as ever having used. I tried the normal "Empty Trash" method, that does nothing. I then tried every other terminal command I could find on the forum and elsewhere, including "rm"; I installed trash-cli and tried "empty-trash". After giving the "rm" command to delete the trash folder, it's still there. I tried restoring the individual files (to alter and delete them) but get an error message that there's no such file or directory. Trying to delete them individually results in "You do not have sufficient permissions to delete the file [filename]." I can query properties, and the result shows content in the files (although some folders show no content.) I am running a dual boot with Windows 10, and disabled "FastBoot" in Widows. Nothing works, although from the error messages and the lack of action, it seems like the files have been deleted. The behavior seems like what a Windows virus might be doing. The system seems to be running fine otherwise, although on restarts I sometimes get a green-colored screen with a multi-colored set of vertical lines in the left 10th of the screen. (I'm giving everything I can think of.)
I'm not very good at terminal commands, and don't really grok Ubuntu, although I can copy and paste what seems to be appropriate.
Here's a screenshot of the results of trash-empty:
