Mac Null character file in trash

I've had this happen twice now you open your trash and see an odd file with some weird null characters with an "o" in the middle.

This is caused by the trash flaking out on an ntfs or fat32 partition when running bootcamp (or at least that's what causes it on mine).

To solve, log into windows, delete all .Trashes files and folders on the drives (note they will be hidden). That should fix it, if it doesn't use windows to run check disk on all drives.
