There was a folder on my desktop, and I dragged and dropped it onto the trash icon on the bottom right of the screen to see if the folder would be deleted.
It got deleted.
But when I opened up the trash folder by clicking on that icon, the folder I had deleted was not there. I then clicked on the properties of the trash folder and it said that there are 113 items in the trash while at the bottom of the window it says there is 0 items in the trash.
I tried viewing hidden folders but nothing showed up. I also tried to open it as root but nothing showed up again.
So does anyone know how I can view the 113 items in the trash?

Sounds like you have some items in an old gnome trash folder instead of the newer xdg trash folder. Do you need to recover the files and could you specify what you're looking for?
Even if you find out what's wrong, this still should be reported as a bug:
