I addressed this problem by accessing the Rubbish Bin from Thunar File Manager (Applications > System Tools > Thunar File Manager).
It would be more convenient to have a Rubbish Bin readily visible. I tried Alt-right clicking on the panel, but nothing happened. Is there another way to make the trashcan applet visible on the desktop? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969657 Title: No way to empty trash in gnome-fallback Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There doesn't seem to be a way to empty the trash if you're using gnome-fallback (with Ubuntu 12.04). This is easily remedied by alt right-clicking a panel and installing a trashcan applet but it would be nice if it were there out of the box.
