Have you tried 'secure empty trash' from the Finder menu?

try copy and pasting these commands into Terminal. when it asks you for your password it doesnt show typing input so just type it and press enter.

Code:

rm -rf .Trash

Code:

killall Finder

ONLY type THESE commands and be sure you typed them correctly.

hmm - okay, it sounds like you've got some file corruption in there.

Richthomas has the right approach, so I won't say it again - just make sure that you're in your home directory before you enter those commands (which should be fine as that's terminal's default directory when it starts up unless you've changed something).
