On Cinnamon and LxQt, the trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash. Is it the same for all desktop environments?
minus-squareEager Eagle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up63·edit-27 months ago${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Trash is fairly common and afaik the default in Gnome and KDE FreeDesktop.org trash spec
minus-squareKindaABigDyl@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up35·edit-27 months agoAlso fyi there’s trash-cli I have rm aliased to trash-rm (not in sudo tho, so I can still force true deletion), so that if I remove something in terminal it also goes to trash. You can empty the trash via trash-empty It also uses ${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Trash (usually ~/.local/share/Trash)
