I assume you mean when you log in as root at the login screen, and not via
su in a shell.  :)  If you do that, and browse to the trash icon on the
desktop, you're going to find that the contents of that trash folder are
different from the contents of the trash folder when you log in as
yourself; these are two separate accounts, after all.

I recommend cc'ing the fedora list as a whole when you reply to me.  There
are a lot of people on that list who are far more experienced and
knowledgable than I am and who can give you better answers or call me on
my own mistakes when I make them.  :)
