Very annoying bug, and its there for at least 9.04
One could still purge the files by manually deleting the contents or /root/. local/share/ .Trash
But restoring the files requires one to manually read the info/xxx.trashinfo contents to know the original location of the trashed file. Why cant the root use / empty / restore the trash as any normal user?
