History:
Files deleted from / were unable to be moved to Trash as there is no trash folder on /

Problem:
I created /.Trash-petur with chown petur.petur and then delete a file from /
The file was moved to /.Trash-petur/files/
The file does not show up in Nautilus Trash.

I then removed the /.Trash-petur directory and created /.Trash/ with chmod 1777 and then deleted another file from /
This time a subdir <uuid> was created under /.Trash/ and the deleted file was moved to /.Trash/<uuid>/files/
The file does not show up in Nautilus Trash.

I thought maby there is a bug causing the files in /.Trash/<uuid>/ not to be displayed.
I deleted a file from /home/ and it shows up in Trash.
I did "Empty Trash" and the file disappeared from the Trash.
However the files deleted from / are still in /.Trash/<uuid>/files/

I tried refreshing the trash and logging out and back into the system.
