How can i disable xfce trash?
This is the all time dumbest feature i have ever seen in a file/desktop manager, instead of deleting files, picking delete from a right click menu merely moves them to ~/.local/share/Trash/files
I have tried linking ~/.local/share/Trash/files to /dev/null, but then when i try to delete a file xfce complains that it isnt a directory. i suppose i could create a cron job, but there just has to be a way to turn this off. if i wanted to keep my trash, i'd still be using windows. i cant imagine that the developers are stupid enough to make this unchangeable. |

Feel free to either add this to feature to XFCE (or rather Thunar) or change the DE, if it is too stupid for you. |

Luckily for me I'm used to <Shift>+<Delete> from Windows so I've continued the habit. |
Here is a sendto link that will appear in the thunar sendto menu. Place a file with this content

Dolphin and Konqueror have an option to not use Trash, a setting not unlike Windows not using recyclebin.
from a terminal you can do: Code:
rm -rf ~/.Trash/* |
Thanks I'll take a look.
