Then you can get into the root trash properly, and only get rid of what you need to. I'm not exactly sure why it works, but I'm guessing because it launches nautilus in a separate bus, and, thus, the user trash and root trash don't compete. Ideally, root trash would just appear in trash:/// but be locked. Just run “gksudo dbus-launch nautilus”. Then you can get into the root trash properly, and only get rid of what you need to.
