In your trash ???

In some cases tar and other tool will extract files with UID 
not equal to the current user.

If you own the directory you can clean it out. 

Do an "ls -ld Trash" so we can see.  In some cases there will be a dir
owned by 1058 full of files owned by 1058.  If you own the dir you can
chown the owner of the dir then the files etc.

If you just move them to /tmp normal house keeping will tidy them up
eventually.  Since you moved them into the Trash dir you should
be able to move them to /tmp.
