recycle bin in console

Hi,

I would like how could I do that when I delete a file from command-line with rm the file goes to the recycle bin.

Many thanks and sorry for my english!

Re: recycle bin in console

If you review

man rm

you will not see such a capability.

The recycle "bin" is really just a filesystem directory. For each user, it is located under the user's home directory, under the hidden .local/share/Trash/files directory. So mine is at:

dibl@ibex:~/.local/share/Trash/files$

Therefore, what is actually happening when you use the graphical "send to trash" is not a rm, or remove (aka "delete"), but actually a mv, or move. So the CLI equivalent of right-clicking on a file named "foo" that is located in your user folder and executing "send to trash" would be

mv foo .local/share/Trash/files/foo
