In checking disk space I found in /.home/.trash-0/files 34.6G of files I
can't delete. Tried tagging files and deleting but they come right back.
How do I clean these files out?

Open a terminal and do `rm .trash-0/* -rf`

maybe cd to that folder first and then do the rm otherwise a careless typo in the rm command might delete more than you intended :)
