Hello Nigel, 

the command line works, but an easier way is to use the trash 
applet, or you just enter trash:/ into the location bar of konqueror. 
Then right-click the background and choose the option to empty the trash. 

This has the advantage that it automatically finds all the trashes 
you may have on your system that belong to the user you are logged in as.  
Yes, there can be more than one, for example one per partition or network drive.
It's that way because 
1. not all the data you may trash will always fit into your home partition 
2. it's not a good idea to move a large CD image across partitions or even 
   a network link into the user's home directory just because the user 
   trashed the file.

I hope this makes it clearer why things are the way they are... 

Christian.
