For those Linux in particular Ubuntu flavors the simple one is to use.

Code: (Select All)

file$ = "TrashMe.txt"

IF _FILEEXISTS(file$) THEN

  SHELL _HIDE "gio trash " + file$

END IF

I've tested it on my Ubuntu machine and it preserves it origin, so it can be restored.

Thanks to @justsomeguy for the Linux equivalent of the windows powershell command for this. I know squat about linux and am simply trusting his version to work as advertised for us. Wink
