Impossible move file from home to trash folder

Hi there, I am using debian 9 testing with Xfce4 and I have noticed a problem in my /home/. while trying to move some files to trash-folder it appears a pop-up tell me I haven't permission to do it, but I can click with the right mouse and erase them.
I don't know if some permissions are changed while upgrading but ther is no way to move files to trash folder and all files are mine like user and group.
Is there a solution?

Thanks

Re: Impossible move file from home to trash folder

while trying to move some files to trash-folder

Are you doing this from within Thunar? Or the desktop? Or some other application?

it appears a pop-up tell me I haven't permission to do it, but I can click with the right mouse and erase them.

If doing this from thunar, are you running thunar as root? What do the following commands return?

ls -al ~/.local/share | grep Trash
ls -al ~/.local/share/Trash

Re: Impossible move file from home to trash folder

Thanks for your replay.
Well, this happen in Thunar, but also on the Desktop and I am not running Thunar as root.
here what commands return:

ls -al ~/.local/share | grep Trash
drwx------  4 tito tito   4096 mag 15 15:30 Trash

ls -al ~/.local/share/Trash
totale 16
drwx------  4 tito tito 4096 mag 15 15:30 .
drwx------ 18 tito tito 4096 giu 18 11:01 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 mag 15 13:08 files
drwx------  2 tito tito 4096 giu 15 10:50 info

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 mag 15 13:08 files

This directory is incorrectly owned by root and your user account doesn't have write rights to it. Try resetting the permissions:

sudo chown -R tito:tito ~/.local/share/Trash
