Can not empty trash completely

At times t so happens that some files are deleted while in super user mode or in sudo command.
In such cases 'Empty trash' doesn't completely empties the trash as it has no super user rights or user authorisation.

In such cases from command prompt go to
/home/your_user_name/.local/share/Trash/

and use rm * command to delete all the files.
If there are any non empty folders then you will need to use

sudo rm -rf 'the folder name'

Enjoy Linux! Enjoy UBUNTU!!
