    You can remove it with the following commands (replace username with your log-on name):
    Code:
    sudo chown -R username /media/disk/.Trash-1000_/files
    rm -r /media/disk/.Trash-1000/files

    did you try it from the command line logged in as root?
    My guess (as a newb) is that it has to do with the folder name.
