Gnome-shell can't empty trash from removable (FAT) storage?

[Richard Shaw]

Has anyone else noticed this or can reproduce this problem?

When I connect my android phone as a mass storage device it works as
expected other than how long it takes to be detected.

If I delete (move to trash) some files the trash bin icon stays
"empty" and the empty trash icon remains grayed out. The only
workaround I've found so far is to either show all files so I can get
to ".500-Trash" and move it to trash again which actually prompts me
to delete it or go in to a terminal and rm -rf ... it.

Thanks,
Richard
