Well, I have never had this problem and i thought I would post it here. My trash bin icon is showing that I have trash in it, but when I open it up and empty it, the icon remains the same, even though its empty. I have tried restarting, killing the dock, and searching the internet. None have helped. I posted a picture that explains the problem. It's not an edited photo to trick you. I need help please.

maybe, you sent stuff from a usb drive to the trash, and ejected the usb before emptying the trash. I think that happened to me once. For some reason if you don't empty the trash, the usb has some hidden files or something that continues using the space of the files deleted.

Maybe you could try that ?
