trash-cli trashes files recording the original path, deletion date, and permissions. It uses the same trashcan used by KDE, GNOME, and XFCE, but you can invoke it from the command line (and scripts).
It provides these commands:
trash-put trash files and directories.
trash-empty empty the trashcan(s).
trash-list list trashed files.
trash-restore restore a trashed file.
trash-rm remove individual files from the trashcan.Trash a file:
$ trash-put fooList trashed files:
$ trash-list
2008-06-01 10:30:48 /home/andrea/bar
2008-06-02 21:50:41 /home/andrea/bar
2008-06-23 21:50:49 /home/andrea/fooSearch for a file in the trashcan:
$ trash-list | grep foo
2007-08-30 12:36:00 /home/andrea/foo
2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/fooRestore a trashed file:
$ trash-restore
0 2007-08-30 12:36:00 /home/andrea/foo
1 2007-08-30 12:39:41 /home/andrea/bar

$ trash-empty 1
$ trash-list
2008-02-19 20:11:34 /home/einar/todayRemove only files matching a pattern:
$ trash-rm \*.oNote: you need to use quotes in order to protect the pattern from shell expansion.
Steps :
sudo mkdir --parent /.Trash
sudo chmod a+rw /.Trash
sudo chmod +t /.TrashYou can but you shouldn't. In the early days I thought it was a good idea to do that but now I changed my mind.
Although the interface of trash-put seems to be compatible with rm, it has different semantics which will cause you problems. For example, while rm requires -R for deleting directories trash-put does not.
You could alias rm to something that will remind you to not use it:
alias rm='echo "This is not the command you are looking for."; false'Then, if you really want to use rm, simply prepend a slash to bypass the alias:
\rm file-without-hopeNote that Bash aliases are used only in interactive shells, so using this alias should not interfere with scripts that expect to use rm.
