rm -rf ~/.Trash/*

I have a file named 810_98ME2KXP_v1.6 in my trash can and when I empty the trash can this file doesn’t get deleted neither it gets restored. It just stays as it is with the same error all the time

Sorry, could not display all the contents of “trash”: Operation not supported
I have 3 gigs free disk space. The trash is holding me hostage like a union: it does not work as desired, it impairs functionality, and apparently cannot be removed easily. How can I remove the union gremlins (assassinations, torture, genocide…it’s all on the table NOW) AND empty the trash as the above command doesn’t work either!?!?!
$ ls -al ~/.Trash
total 8
