I can't get trash to work in KDE 4.3.4 on Windows XP 32bit. I get the error "cannot load library kcm_trash" and reinstalling does not fix the problem.

Has anyone had this problem and know's how to fix it?
Which package contains the trash function?

Strange, it should be in kdebase-runtime:

Thanks for your reply.

It is strange because in Dolphin I can drag files onto trash and it works. However, when I right click on a file, the 'send to trash' option is not available (dulled out) and the 'cut' option is also dulled out.

After reinstalling kdewin-1.0.0 deleting from Dolphin is not possible any more.
Going to Settings -> Configure Dolphin -> Trash... the following message appears:

Could not find plugin 'Trash' for application 'dolphin'. The library kcm_trash cannot be loaded: the module could not be found.
Possible reasons:

An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
You have old third party modules lying around

When trying to move something to trash, the following message pops up:
"The process for the trash protocol died unexpectedly."

I looked after some "leftovers" from my previous instalation, but I cannot find them in C:/ProgramData/KDE.
As I am very fond of Dolphin and its options for handling files, I would very much apreciate your help in solving the problem.

Thank you!

Can you please search for anything named "trash" underneath the directory where you have KDE on Windows installed? It sounds like parts of kde-runtime may be missing.

Ok. A search after *trash* got, except for the .png files, this results:

ktrash in C:\ProgramData\KDE\bin
kcmtrash.desktop in C:\ProgramData\KDE\share\kde4\services
directory.trash in C:\ProgramData\KDE\share\apps\kio_desktop
trash.protocol in C:\ProgramData\KDE\share\kde4\services
x-trash in C:\ProgramData\KDE\share\mime\application

Okay, it appears you have an incomplete installation. Please reinstall the "kde-runtime" package in the KDE on Windows installer - hopefully this will fix the issue.
