I use trash folder as to prevent some mistakes when deleting
stuff. This package should support the built-in features and not
deviate, though I do not know if it deviates in relation to trashing.
Inspect veriable delete-by-moving-to-trash
move-file-to-trash is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
‘files.el’.
(move-file-to-trash FILENAME)
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 23.2.
Move the file (or directory) named FILENAME to the trash.
When ‘delete-by-moving-to-trash’ is non-nil, this function is
called by ‘delete-file’ and ‘delete-directory’ instead of
deleting files outright.
If the function ‘system-move-file-to-trash’ is defined, call it
with FILENAME as an argument.
Otherwise, if ‘trash-directory’ is non-nil, move FILENAME to that
directory.
Otherwise, trash FILENAME using the freedesktop.org conventions,
like the GNOME, KDE and XFCE desktop environments. Emacs moves
files only to "home trash", ignoring per-volume trashcans.
