I'd change it to something like this as a "safe rm" :

#!/bin/bash

TRASHDIR=~/trash/

if [ ! -d $TRASHDIR ]; then
  mkdir $TRASHDIR
fi

for A in $*; do
  if [ -d $A ]; then
    echo "Can't remove directory: $A"
   else
     mv $A $TRASHDIR
   fi
done

Also you could add something to your crontab or just an "cleantrash"
that has something like "find ~/trash/ -type f -mtime 20 -exec rm -f {}
\;"

I think that " du -h / |grep -v '/.*/' " would be more comfortable to
read.
