Update: Having given myself ownership and permissions to ~/.local/share/Trash[/*], I am now able to trash items that are in my system / partition (including items that are in /home/scott that are NOT in the bind-mounted personal data directories) with no complaint from Caja.
scott@ASUS-PRIME-B350M-A-CSM:~$ ls -lha .local/share drwxrwx--- 4 scott scott 4.0K Mar 16 2019 Trash scott@ASUS-PRIME-B350M-A-CSM:~$ ls -lha .local/share/Trash total 16K drwxrwx--- 4 scott scott 4.0K Mar 16 2019 . drwxr-xr-x 19 scott scott 4.0K Oct 29 23:50 .. drwxrwx--- 2 scott scott 4.0K Mar 16 2019 files drwxrwx--- 2 scott scott 4.0K Mar 16 2019 info However, I am still not able to trash files in my bind-mounted directories. In looking at the terminal output for the trash directory for /data (see above), I noted that although I had ownership of the directory, only the owner had permissions for "Create and delete". I fixed that... scott@ASUS-PRIME-B350M-A-CSM:~$ ls -lha /data/.Trash-1000 total 4.0M drwxrwx--- 5 scott scott 4.0K Feb 28 2014 . drwxrwxr-x 10 scott scott 4.0K Oct 28 20:15 .. drwxrwx--- 2 scott scott 16K Feb 28 2014 expunged drwxrwx--- 176 scott scott 1.8M Oct 26 20:48 files drwxrwx--- 2 scott scott 2.3M Oct 26 20:48 info ...but still had the problem... AT LAST, I believe I know what the problem is! I opened the same directory twice, first as: /home/scott/Pictures/HighestNumbered then as: /data/scott/Photos/HighestNumbered I duplicated a photo. Caja was unable to trash: /home/scott/Pictures/HighestNumbered/TGED6979 (copy).JPG but WAS able to trash: /data/scott/Photos/HighestNumbered/TGED6979 (copy).JPG ...so Caja has a problem trashing items from areas that are bind-mounted. Caja has no problem displaying/copying/moving items, whether their location is the directory in the /data partition, or in the equivalent bind-mounted directory within my home directory, but it CANNOT trash them, if I point it at the home directory equivalent.
