I'd like to know which one is creating /.Trash-1000. Yes, at the root folder. No, I don't have any other OS installed in this system but linux

You should be able to set a watch using the Linux Audit system (which home-watcher also uses). Try something like this

sudo auditctl -w /.Trash-1000 -p rwxa -k trash_monitor

You should then be able to search for events in the logs with

sudo ausearch -k trash_monitor

The kde default explorer dolphin does.
It creates them at the root of separate partitions (or maybe only network mounts).
Basically as a fallback to moving it slowly into a local trash.

You probably have the system mounted elsewhere and are accessing it remotely with dolphin would be my guess.

Last time I encountered it I found no good solution, it's very anyoing.
Best workaround is to create a file of the same name as the folder, that way at least it stays empty.
