How to link all disks to the Trash

binkyd · 09-28-2020, 05:31 PM

Title says it - if I delete files that aren't in root or home, they hide on that disk, and are never in the
Trash file. So I have to show hidden files and then go in and find them and delete them - it's a bleeping circus.

Is there any way to have an extra data disk for example, send its deleted files to that Trash, so I can get rid of them by "Emptying Trash" ?

Typically for other filesystems files are immediately deleted but I have not played with Manjaro much.

For Gnome based desktops you need to add a hidden directory in that filesystems top directory and make sure it is owned by that user.
mkdir .Trash-$UID where $UID is that desired users UID.
