I know nothing about Windows!!
As for safedelete in Linux,
In ~/.bashrc one puts:
alias rm="/usr/bin/safedelete -i"
then when one does a rm file, see below
man safedelete
DESCRIPTION
safedelete provides a way to safely delete files so they
can be undeleted on demand. safedelete `deletes' files by
copying them to a safedelete directory which is specified
at install time. Files processed by safedelete are given
a new unique filename after they are placed in the
safedelete directory. This allows multiple copies of the
same file to be safedeleted without having to worry about
collisions with existing files.
Each user has a log file containing the names of all the
files they can currently undelete (see the undelete manual
page for details on undeleting files). The log file name
is .safedelete.log and is kept in each users $HOME direc�
tory.
Each user has a safedelete subdirectory within their $HOME
directory. The subdirectory name is set during the
installation of safedelete and defaults to .Safedelete.
See your system administrator for the subdirectory name on
your system.
