This is safer:
/bin/rm -f ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/Trash/{files,info}/*

btw, the full specification for Trash is in 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2ftrash_2dspec

The path spec is $XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash and can be overridden by config 
settings. XDG_DATA_HOME defaults to ~/.local/share
