WDex2 -.Trash folder

Hi,
I have EX2, using 2 HD of 0.5TB each ,Raid2, and all is working OK for few years.
Recentrly i’ve notices that I’m running out of space, and a quick search leaded to find a directory, named .Trash containing about 125GB of old deleted files, that stays, even after commencing manual emptying of recycle bin.

guy@desktop:~/Videos/video@Cloud$ ls -la

inside- I find following directories that contained old and deleted data:

guy@desktop:~/Videos/video@Cloud/.Trash-1000$ ls -l
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 2 guy guy 0 May 19 14:22 expunged
drwxrwxrwx 2 guy guy 0 Aug  3 21:06 files
drwxrwxrwx 2 guy guy 0 Aug  3 21:06 info

what shoud be done to prevent future happening and is it safe to delete this directory ?
