How can I empty the trash that has become too big? Tia

You mean the personal, per-user 'Trash' folder? This folder is stored in ~/.local/share/Trash/ , in this 'Base' folder, there are two sub-folders: files -- this is where the files are, and info -- this is where the info to the files is stored.

For each file deleted to the 'Trash', the file is moved to the ~/.local/share/Trash/files/[filename] location and a info file ~/.local/share/Trash/info/[filename].trashinfo is written.

To empty the 'Trash'-bin, either use right-click on Trash-icon, and select "empty trash", or, remove the files and the corresponding .trashinfo-files by hand from the locations show above.

Something I've seen occasionally in KDE at least is a message that items cannot be deleted because the trash has reached its maximum size, and there is a message advising to empty it. However, that doesn't cure the issue and you can get caught in a vicious circle where you can neither fill nor empty the bin.

It's necessary to rename the /.local/share/Trash/metadata file so that a new one is created and the problem then goes away.
