Completely new to Ubuntu. 18.04.4 LTS is installed.

I used a FAT32 USB to add files from my old computer. The USB now has a (hidden until Ctrl-H) folder called '.Trash-1000' which I cannot delete. USB name is 'TOSHIBA'. Username is "a". Output from 'sudo fdisk -l'

 Device     Boot Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdc1        8064 30322687 30314624 14.5G  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

From the little I have determined from other webpages I need to change the permissions to allow the folder to be deleted.

How do I do this? I have no knowledge of Ubuntu command-line code or its use.

Also can the computer be set up so it doesn't create trash folders in USBs? This would seem the most sensible option? Alternatively can the computer be set up so Trash folders on all USBs can be deleted easily?

TIA
