I initially had a problem with deleting empty folders from the Local Folders Trash. I found another post, followed the directions and they were gone. I moved a folder to a different folder as a subfolder and the same files reappeared in the Trash again. These will not delete from the Trash. Thanks for your help.

Right click the trash folder, select Empty trash.

It really should be that easy. If it is not then much more information is needed, so please confirm you have emptied the trash.

These empty folders will not go away via Empty Trash. I have attempted it so many times I cannot count. As you can see, some of these have duplicated in some way. Other things can be deleted vis Empty Trash, but these folders go nowhere.
