* '''Command''': {{l/cmd|gio}} trash [OPTION...] [LOCATION...]
* '''Action''': Sends files or directories to the ‘Trashcan’ or restore them from ‘Trashcan’.
==About==
The 'Trashcan' can be a different folder depending on where the file is located, and not all file systems support this concept. In the common case that the file lives inside a user’s home directory, the trash folder is <code>$XDG_DATA_HOME/Trash</code>.

Note that moving files to the trash does not free up space on the file system until the ‘Trashcan’ is emptied. If you are interested in deleting a file irreversibly, see the '''{{l/same|remove}}''' command.

Inspecting and emptying the ‘Trashcan’ is normally supported by graphical file managers such as Nautilus, but you can also see the trash with these commands:
* {{l/cmd|gio}} trash --list
* {{l/cmd|gio}} list trash://
