Deleting Trash can

OK. My issue is a little different, but it falls under the same cat.

I tried moving some directories from windows to linux to make a
complete switch, and for a reason, some files in my /My\ Documents/
folder are root's prop. I tried deleting the thing and I got block. SO
I fired up Xterm and sudo nautilus /home/marc/.Trash and deleted
everything in there... They went to my /root/.Trash that I also
deleted.

But on the Gnome Bar, the Trash Icon STILL looks full, and opening it
shows a directory that I can't delete. When I open /home/marc/.Trash
with my permisssions or root's the folder is empty (OB)...

I don't understand this. Isn't the /home/marc/.Trash the same as the
Trash icon on my desktop?

How do I delete the content of my Trash bin, since my /home/marc/.Trash
is empty?
