"Trash" equivalent for 12.04

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 546 / 1 Year ago, fri, april 7, 2023, 5:57:52

I recently updated my Ubuntu version to 12.04.

I have aliased rm to the command trash, and now that I have upgraded, there is no longer a command called trash. Is there an equivalent for 12.04? I just want to move files to a trash can before I delete them, so I don't go delete my all of my code, which I have done before.

Try installing the trash-cli utility:

sudo apt-get install trash-cli

Usage:

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.</pre>
