Alt-F2|gksu nautilus
[that will get you into a root-type version of Nautilus]

Then go to: /home/<user>/.Trash
and you should be able to delete the file(s) or modify the permissions.
Note: in Nautilus you will need to turn on the delete option first:
Edit|Preferences|Behaviour|Trash|Include a Delete...

You can also delete the file from the command line:

cd /home/<user>/.Trash
sudo rm <filename>
