@diotialate said in Linux 4.19.970v71 noob:
As a post-mortem, it looks like everybody ignored my "recycle bin" question probably because it was "too stupid to ask," but I think answering the question would've connected the dots together.
For what it's worth, I didn't know 100% for sure the answer to this, although I had a good idea. A simple google search of "does linux have recycle bin" turned up a couple of easy fast answers. The answer is from a command line, no there isn't one. Many desktop distros do present a "trash" container that you do need to empty.
