After some more playing looking at the Trash in Gnome, I found the
directories had a subdirectory called src and src had a hidden directory
called .dep which is owned by root. The permissions are drwxr-xr-x.
Since it is owned by root I do not know how to delete it from Gnome, and
I can not find it with the terminal or search.

One of the files in the trash folder
geda-gnetlist-1.4.1/src/.deps/globals.Po
So I search, using Places->Search for Files menu item, for globals.Po in
my home directory and in the file system and there is no match.
