This is an easy fix. What you need to do is:

1. Download and Burn a Ubuntu CD from ubuntu.com
2. Boot from the CD and choose to TRY Ubuntu (not install!)
3. When you are on the Ubuntu desktop, Click PLACES from the menu up top
4. Chose the drive with the .Trash-999 folder (usually it will say something like 320 GB Filesystem)
5. When the drive opens up, click the TRASH icon in the left pane/menu
6. Select each folder and right-click, chose DELETE PERMANENTLY from the menu
7. After all the folders have been deleted you will be able to boot into Windows and kill the empty .Trash-999 folder.
