Jeez, you don't want to do that!  The file manager is Part of the
Problem!

Try this magic spell from Terminal:

    rm -f <TRASH>/gnash-dbg.log
    # Om mame padme hum Hail Mary full of Grace Hear O Israel the Lord ....

where <TRASH> is the path to the trash directory (it's probably
something like ~/.trash).  If that doesn't work, try it again as root.
