I tried:
# rm -r .Trash-0
# rm -rf .Trash-0
But of no use. This file doesn't get deleted. It says "read only file system cannot be deleted".

Boot from ubuntu install media - choose 'Try Ubuntu'.
Mount ubuntu partition : sudo mount /dev/sd* /mnt
Open Nautilus as root : sudo dbus-launch nautilus
Press Ctrl + H - then open 'Computer' => /mnt folder.
Go to the location of the .Trash-0 folder and delete it.
Note : * = disk / partition (e.g. : sda1)
You can use GParted for identification.

1@Meghraj - I think you missunderstood - you have to execute the operation following the steps I described from ubuntu live media ! Sep 3, 2015 at 8:43

I just wanted to try this way once. Actually I have installed it in VMware. While deleting it say, cannot be deleted, read only file system. Its located in root.. .snapshot/.Trash-0 Sep 3, 2015 at 8:52

1@Meghraj - so you are talking about a VM install, you should have said this before ! Your problem is not ubuntu related - as it seems you are dealing with a snapshot thing, you only can solve it from within VMware machine management. Sep 3, 2015 at 9:04
