ptrash (1) - Linux Manuals

SYNOPSIS

ptrash [Option] file-name-1 [file-name-2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

ptrash is a console based simple application. ptrash moves the named file(s) to trash directory located under the home directory of a user. In case if ~/.trash is non-existent, ptrash creates it for you and then moves the file(s) to this directory. By default, ptrash runs in non-interactive mode, which means it does not ask user if she is sure to move the file to ~/.trash even when the named file already exists in trash and proceeds with overwriting that file.
