Description Marian 2014-09-16 00:06:56 UTC 
When unmounting a removable drive, one is asked whether the trash shall
be emptied. Afterwards, a directory `.Trash-$UID` with the (empty)
directories files/ and info/, is left over.

IMHO this should be removed as well. It is just unneccessary, clutters
the disk, especially on other operating systems, where it is not hidden.

This is a Nautilus operation, reassigning.
