Open Task Manager > Find-select Thunar - right click and Kill > After open new Thunar and the Trash is there.

Here is a tip. Instead of referring to a post number you can right click the icon next to a post and copy the post link. Then paste it in your post. Clicking on it then takes you directly to that post.

This command is not for production servers, but for normal usage, when your swap is overload and your MX could nor respond fast the way you are used to. The command will kill the most heavy apps mostly browsers and will bring your MX in a previous good fast and health situation.
The best until now Swappiness adjustment
After almost 2 months of trying different combinations I found the best swappiness adjustment for my Laptop with 2 GB RAM and 4 GB Swap.
Choose Basic > Every Minute > Add and you are ready.
