Your post is probably better asked and answered on another forum it relates to Linux rather than Firefox. You appear to be using ubuntu so a good place to ask would be.
The answer may well depend on the type of install, you may for instance have several separate partitions and be able to reformat the original partition with the Home files on it.
The trash folder is in this location in your home directory.
- .local/share/Trash
You can also cleanup the /tmp folder to get extra disk space.
Do you have more than one partition, i.e. a separate partition for the Home directory?

It appears a bit of site maintenance is about to occur on that forum, but usually they give very quick answers to questions, and are very good at hand holding and guiding new users.
We have no idea if you are running from a USB/Live CD/Windows Partition/Dual booting system but all those sort of questions relate to Ubuntu rather than Firefox.
Did you install Ubuntu yourself or did someone do it for you, could you ask them for advice ?
Question owner
I bought second hand Ubuntu computer.I installed it myself. Thanks.
I probably will not be on the forum much in the next 24 hours. You probably will need quite a few posts to sort this out if you are new to computers.
I am sure cor-el will continue to help but the Ubuntu forum is certainly worth a try.
