We had some discussions about that and the consensus was to keep the deleted files as long as there is space or if they are really outdated. Basically manage the emptying of the trash automatically. The manually emptying that you have on normal Desktops is a strange concept. It doesn't give you anything beside a good feeling that you cleaned up you home. ;-) But you loose the option to restore old files once you emptied your trash.
So we decided that it is best if ownCloud manage this internally automatically.

I hope that works for you.
