This is one of those operations that is facilitated by using an OFM[1] instead 
of cmdline utilities.

1-log out of X
2-login on a vtty
3-mc
4-navigate into the .Trash folder
5-highlight everything you want to delete (* and/or + keys)
6-F8

done

If you manage to get permission denied this time, do it over again as root.

If you get command not found trying to execute mc:

A-complain to your distro they forgot to put it in the base install
B-install mc (it's in every distribution's base repos)
