On my 15" Retina the trash is showing empty but I have items in there. If I right click I can't empty it but I can when I open it in finder and select it from the status bar.

Anyone know how to fix it, I have tried doing a restart but it's still the same.

Maybe open disk utility and check for disk errors. Id start there. Are they hidden files?
 
I just had this same problem. Try relaunching Finder by clicking the  logo on the top left of the screen and Force Quit...

Worked for me!
