It's the result of a glitch in something or other, possibly from the system failing to properly empty the trash previously. I wouldn't worry about where it's there, just how to get rid of it. Open Terminal and run:

sudo rm -rf ~/.Trashes

Sorry, but um... no luck in using sudo rm -rf ~/.Trashes in terminal... I guess I'll just have to bear with it for now...
