The ~/.local/share/Trash directory contains 2 sub-directories, files and info. When you move something into the trash using the GUI, it actually moves it into the files sub-directory, and may put some meta-info into the info sub-directory. So, if you want to remove items in the Trash from the command line, you really want to do
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*/*
Hope this helps.
