Calibre 3.44 installed on Ubuntu 16.04

When files are deleted in Calibre, they are moved to the .Trash-<uid> folder, However, the files do not appear in the Trash folder on any of the file managers, (Mate, Gnome, nor in KDE's Dolphin.). ergo emptying the trash does not remove them. They stay stuck until I manually delete the hidden .Trash folders.

What system command, exactly, that Calibre is using to delete files that is failing, I don't know.
