trash:///Subtitles, and when its deleted it shows as 'find:
`/home/boztu/.local/share/Trash/files/Subtitles': No such file or
directory' in the txt output. This shows that its been deleted
successfully. It seems that if its less than 7 days old, then its not
deleted, which is the desired outcome. 

There are currently 2 files that have not been deleted, even though
their shown date is 27/2, and one whose date is 26/2. 

The script is currently 
################################################
#!/bin/sh
# emptyTrash

DAYS=7        # retain for N days

find $HOME/.local/share/Trash/ -type f -mtime +$DAYS -delete
find $HOME/.local/share/Trash/ -depth -type d -exec rmdir
--ignore-fail-on-non-empty {} +
#################################################

Thanks all :)

Sharon.
