How does the trash can work? Move the file to another location or rename

Trashcan? Don't have such a thing, but I have seen with KDE a directory
with the name of ~/.KDE/Trash. So all that it does is move stuff there.

There are people who make a directory "~/.trash" and then make a script
that instead of deleting will move the files there. It can then be added
to your cronjob (or in the script, just use `nice` then) to remove
anything older then X days or see that the direcdtory is not larger then
Y.
