The bin doesn't empty even after multiple trials [on hold]
I tried creating a dual boot of phoenix os following the steps as mentioned in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGn1ISy0KpI&t=641s
But unfortunately it didn't work for me, and therefore I tried to delete the files in that root folder. Then it moved to the trash folder and when I tried removing it from there it didn't go. The problem persisted even after multiple reboots.

I watched the whole video, and found a mention of 'root' folder you talk about, which is / (root) directory. Why you can't remove it? maybe it has to do with the fact that you trying to remove something from root directory without root privilege.
Please remove it use rm.
cd /
sudo rm -r phoenix/
This will also delete the phoenix directory and content of it.
