I think I've had this problem too, but I don't do too much deleting, so I 
don't run into it often. What is your desktop environment? I think KDE holds 
trash in a different place than all others, so that's why I ask. You could 
place a script in cron.daily that does rm -Rf /home/user/.local/share/Trash/.
