Ok, it looks like you do not have full permissions to the files and
directories within the directories in the trash.  This is why it fails
when you attempt to empty the trash.

First, change all the files within your trash to be owned by you:

sudo chown -R stevew.stevew ~/.local/share/Trash/files

Then change the permissions to rwx for everyone.  This is usually
dangerous to do, but since we are just going to delete them afterwards,
it doesn't really matter.

sudo chmod 777 ~/.local/share/Trash/files

Then try emptying your trash.
