can't empty the trash on headless pi?

i have no folder called Trash inside ~/.local/share. is the trash automatically deleted on Raspbian OS Lite, or is the trash folder located somewhere else?

There is no recycle bin or trash directory in headless. Everything is deleted directly.

If you want to "delete" something but don't want it to be completely gone, add a suffix to its name. For example

mv /home/username/textdocument.txt /home/username/textdocument.txt.old

Or create a directory called "old" and move what you want to delete there.

ah, okay, cheers
