For the past few weeks when I've tried to move a file to the trash I've been presented with a dialog box similar to the one above. Then it seemed like it wasn't going away and got rather annoying so I decided to look into it.

When you get this error the permissions for the ~/.Trash file have been changed.

How to solve it

To solve this problem open up Terminal and type in

sudo chmod 777 ~/.Trash

This should return Trash to the way it is meant to be.
