This system ;; creates special directories known as trashcan directories to hold ;; files that can be deleted or undeleted (restored/recovered). On ;; Unix systems there is one trashcan directory for each user and the ;; default values are $HOME/.TRASHCAN for each value of $HOME. On ;; Windows systems there are trashcan directories at the following ;; default locations: a:\TRASHCAN, b:\TRASHCAN, c:\TRASHCAN etc. ;; This system changes the behaviour of the "x" key in dired mode from ;; permanently deleting files to a two stage system. If you are not in ;; a trashcan directory, then the selected files are moved into a ;; trashcan directory. If you are already in a trashcan directory, the ;; the selected files are permanently deleted. Files in a trashcan ;; directory can be restored by viewing that directory in dired mode, ;; selecting some files and executing the command M-x ;; trashcan-restore. All of the files in a trashcan directory can also ;; be permanently deleted in one hit by issing the command M-x ;; trashcan-empty.
