GVFS-TRASH(1) User Commands GVFS-TRASH(1)NAMEgvfs-trash - Move files or directories to the trash
SYNOPSISgvfs-trash [OPTION...] [LOCATION...]
DESCRIPTIONgvfs-trash sends files or directories to the "Trashcan". This can be a
different folder depending on where the file is located, and not all
file systems support this concept. In the common case that the file
lives inside a users home directory, the trash folder is
$XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash.
Note that moving files to the trash does not free up space on the file
system until the "Trashcan" is emptied. If you are interested in
deleting a file irreversibly, see gvfs-rm.
Inspecting and emptying the "Trashcan" is normally supported by
graphical file managers such as nautilus, but you can also see the
trash with the command gvfs-ls trash://.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.
-f, --force
Ignore nonexistent and non-deletable files.
--empty
Empty the trash.
EXIT STATUS
On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
