[Solved] Cannot delete folder in Gnome

I get an error when trying to delete some folders that are in the trash.  The error states it is a permission problem.  Do I need to add my user to another group? 

I took a look at the groups wiki and didn't find anything relating to deleting files, I guess I have to delete them as root right?

What I was wondering was, where are the folders on my filesystem so I can rm them as root.  In Gnome I right click on the file and it says the location is trash:///

I tried searching for them but no success.

They _should_ be under your XDG_DATA_DIR I think. But I don't know if Gnome does that.

Look under /home/username/.local/share/trash
