Thanks Tony!
That did it. Found Trash and contents and (after a little struggle for
the right cmd) deleted the contents of Trash.

...Thank NoOp for: (the GUI 'Find Files' does not show it)
n0jn at bsw:~$ locate Trash
/home/n0jn/.local/share/Trash
/home/n0jn/.local/share/Trash/files
/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet.server
/usr/share/gnome-2.0/ui/GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet.xml
n0jn at bsw:~$ 
 (I added it to my 'Find Files' folder ...)

And Thanks again Dotan.
.. and some others.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

Herman in PHL.
