Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

If trash contains unempty folder with ro permissions, it can't be emptied.
Trying to set rw permissions for folder inside fake trash results in "operation is not supported by driver".
You need to manually go to actual trash ~/.local/share/Trash, fix permissions, or shift+del from there.

and, imho, moving actual trash folder so deep is not good idea. ~/.trash was fine.
