When downloading files/photos from some sites, you don't always get what you thought you were going to get. Sometimes, you can get things that are downright illegal. I have deleted them but the residue and some of the files are still in the trash bin. How do I shred everything in the trash bin? I want everything gone, the risks are too great. Also, are there other areas that should be checked?

Maybe you don't have rights to delete some files. Try with root then. Your trash bin is located in /home/username/.local/share/Trash/files If possible only delete the content in the files directory and NOT the "files" folder itself and the "info" folder. – Jeryosh Nov 04 '19 at 21:01
