cannot find Trash folder! Ubuntu 18.04

I am running a preinstalled version of ubuntu 18.04 but cannot find Trash folder. The typical places don't have the folder. ~/.local/share/Trash <-- does not exist /root/..../Trash <-- does not exit The directory should most likely be here but it's not /home/$USER/.local/share/Trash <---does not exist Hmm ... so I ran a search as follows: sudo find / -type d -iname Trash The output was not nice: find: ‘/run/user/1001/gvfs’: Permission denied /home/$USER/.local/share/evolution/..../trash /home/$USER/.cache/evolution/.../trash /user/share/doc/HTML/.../trash and that's it! By ... I meant there are various directories ending with /trash. But that's useless to mention anyhow since we are not really finding the TRASH can. (Note that I do see a Trash bin on my Desktop, which is ironic. And yes it is empty.) Question is, where is my TRASH FOLDER ? And why do I receive the following output when I run the find command find: ‘/run/user/1001/gvfs’: Permission denied
