Move deleted files to recycle bin option

You are wanting the option to delete items as normal, but just send it all to the recycle bin.

 

This is not very feasible.

 

Imagine if they did this multiple times, or horrors, had a bug that re-sent what they just sent to the recycle bin BACK to the recycle bin another time & just wasted space?

 

Trash in duplicity form. I am sure you can see how terrible this could get & lead to more problems than it would solve!

Then if you don't want to risk it, then fine. Don't. Make it an option. All it takes is a checkable box in preferences.

 

"[x] Automatically delete files without sending them to the recycle bin"

 

Simple as that.

But it's not as simple as that. These checkboxes require code.

 

The coding of the movement, possible error handling. etc

No fate but what we make

I see no problem if the Recycle Bin is NOT checked for cleaning.

I would have thought a simple code change would suffice.

FIRST delete to oblivion all the Recycle Bin contents,

and then everything else is deleted to the recycle bin

(till next time round when it is their turn for oblivion.)

 

Putting things in the recycle bin is a good safe way of finding out if they were needed.

and if their loss damages the system they can be quickly restored.

 

The Carbon Footprint of Piriform servers would be reduced if there were no archives of posts from desperate people who lost vital files ! !
