# list the trashbin
trash-list

Details

trash literally moves the file to <TrashDir>/files, and create an info file at <TrashDir>/infos.

About the location of <TrashDir>:

• If you delete files under your home, the trash directory is ~/.local/share/Trash

• If you delete files under another disk, like /data/, the trash directory is /data/.Trash

  # you may get a warning like:
  $ trash-list
  TrashDir skipped because parent not sticky: /data/.Trash/1002
  
  # solution: make it sticky
  $ chmod +t /data/.Trash
