However, if I simply type: mv -f <file> ~/.local/share/Trash/files I guess that the deadline for the permanent deletion of the file will not be recorded by the system, as it would be had I trashed the file with dolphin. Is there any kde command to perform this task I can use from within a console? Thanks.

Sat Apr 12, 2014 3:28 pm I don't know how to do it with the default tools (it feels like there should be a way), but maybe give trash-cli a try? Problem solved?
