I didn't  use nautilus under sudo, I used gksudo, which is recommend in
many forums and wikis e.g.:

Title:
  Error on accessing root trash

Status in Nemo:
  New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  - Run Nautilus/Nemo with gksudo.
  - create a file/folder in /root.
  - Right-Click and choose "Move to Trash"
  --> the file disappears as expected.
  - some days later ...
  - Run Nautilus/Nemo with gksudo.
  - Click on Trash
  --> error message: Content of »trash:///« cannot be displayed.

  The files can be found in /root/.local/share/Trash/ or in case of
  external volume in .Trash-0/.

  IMO, if user can successfully move files to trash, there should be a
  reliable trash access to recover or finally delete files.
