I tried to use
sudo rm -rf .Trash-1001
But it says
The Removing of .Trash-1001/info" is not possible: The directory is not empty.
(This is a translation by me because I have German as my system language)

Possible problem with locked files in the .Trash directory?
See this Apple support post, which suggests running
chflags -R nouchg ...
on the trash directory before attempting rm -rf.
