Files get delted right away instead of in the trash

my files have started skipping the trash bin and directly deleting themselves when I drag one to the trash. Whether I hit delete, drag into an open trash window, or just drag to the trash icon, the file doesn't go into the trash, but rather deletes right away, with the standard "Are you sure you want to delete 'x'?" As if I was emptying the trash bin. They don't sit in the trash can and wait to be deleted.

 

Those are great but, When i type into terminal ~/.trash it says no such file or directory found

 

Thanks!

It worked!! thank you so much! i also found this: http://www.fixkb.com/2011/08/reset-home-folder-permissions.html

wich was part of the problem because my home folder premissions were wrong and said "fetching.." where my name should have been. It also fixed my garage band problem!
