Can't delete or restore folder from trash.

I am having problems deleting some folders from the trash. I tried restoring them and some of them were restored after many tries but one of them stayed and everytime I click on delete or restore, my laptop gets stuck.
These folders I wanted to delete, just appeared in my home folder and have random names (like b67P6zVRpr and pTJevbGvXj). Now I think it was a mistake trying to delete them when I didn't know what they were. They didn't seem to have any content inside though.
How do I solve this issue? Can anyone tell me how to restore them and what they are or if I can delete them and how?
The directories with random names must have been created by some poorly coded application (which you may have not properly closed). Deleting them should not be problematic.
Try that command to empty your trash bin:
$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*/*
If it outputs errors, show them to us.
I did what you suggested and although it took some time to delete them, it worked in the end.
Now things seem to be normal. Thanks for your help!
