This only happens if the deleted files are not located on the same partition or physical device media as your home directory. See the Trash specification for more details: https://specifications.freedesktop.o...hspec-1.0.html

The .Trash-<uid> directory should be created in the root of the external drive. Programs which implement the Trash specification should show you these files, but don't always (and just because they put them there is not a guarantee that they will see them once they do).

One Trash implementation that I know works is the trash-list command that is part of trash-cli (a command-line utility).

"gio ls" seems to work too, but it's unusable to parse. nemo successfully shows them to me in the GUI.
