Ubuntu 14.04
I have created several symlinks in my home folder to folders in another drive.
I have changed the permissions of that mounted drive:
drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 4,0K oct 13 17:30 media/
When I delete some file/folder on some of that symlinks, from Nautilus, it's sent to Trash folder in media
drive:
$ ll /media/.Trash-1000/
total 8,0K
drwx------ 2 simon simon 4,0K oct 13 17:32 files/
drwx------ 2 simon simon 4,0K oct 13 17:32 info/
but it isn't showed in Nautilus trash, why?

I had similar issues, even going so far as to place a shortcut to the trash bin in my file manager so that I could get the space back. In the end the best solution for me was to:
Use the
trash-cli
package which can be installed withsudo apt-get install trash-cli
and empties all of a users trash with the commandtrash-empty
