.SH "NAME"
gvfs-trash \- Move files or directories to the trash
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBgvfs\-trash\ \fR\fB[OPTION...]\fR\fB\ \fR\fB[LOCATION...]\fR\ 'u
\fBgvfs\-trash \fR\fB[OPTION...]\fR\fB \fR\fB[LOCATION...]\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBgvfs\-trash\fR
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
\fB$XDG_DATA_HOME\fR/Trash\&.
.PP
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
\fBgvfs\-rm\fR\&.
.PP
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
\fBgvfs\-ls trash://\fR\&.
