cannot find Trash folder! Ubuntu 18.04

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;

I am running a preinstalled version
of ubuntu 18.04 but cannot find Trash folder.
The typical places don't have the folder.

~/.local/share/Trash <-- does not exist
 /root/..../Trash <-- does not exit

The directory should most likely be here but it's not

 /home/$USER/.local/share/Trash <---does not exist

Hmm ... so I ran a search as follows:

sudo find / -type d -iname Trash

The output was not nice:

find: ‘/run/user/1001/gvfs’: Permission denied
/home/$USER/.local/share/evolution/..../trash
/home/$USER/.cache/evolution/.../trash
/user/share/doc/HTML/.../trash

and that's it!
By

...

I meant there are various directories ending with /trash. But that's useless to mention anyhow since we are not really finding the TRASH can.

(Note that I do see a Trash bin on my Desktop, which is ironic. And yes it is empty.)

Question is, where is my TRASH FOLDER ?
And why do I receive the following output when I run the find command

find: ‘/run/user/1001/gvfs’: Permission denied

Try to delete some file, and see if they appear when you click on the Trash icon on desktop.

I already did ffrom the Download folder .... and not sure where they end up. How to best trace them ? Grep ? or Find ? I don't see the deleted item in the desktop "Trash bin" ...

Adding now: I did the following "sudo find / -type d -iname deletedfile" and got as output find: ‘/run/user/1001/gvfs’: Permission denied

Use type -f instead of type -d, and then tell us.
