                <para><command>gvfs-trash</command> sends files or directories
                to the "Trashcan". This can be a different folder depending
                on where the file is located, and not all file systems support
                this concept. In the common case that the file lives inside a
                users home directory, the trash folder is
                <filename><envar>$XDG_DATA_HOME</envar>/Trash</filename>.</para>

                <para>Note that moving files to the trash does not free up
                space on the file system until the "Trashcan" is emptied.
                If you are interested in deleting a file irreversibly,
                see <command>gvfs-rm</command>.</para>

                <para>Inspecting and emptying the "Trashcan" is normally
                supported by graphical file managers such as nautilus,
                but you can also see the trash with the command
                <command>gvfs-ls trash://</command>.</para>
