Randy the trash can on windows was just a directory, and so is KDE's. This directory is in the /home/yourUserName/Desktop/ directory. To delete it may upset KDE but if you succeed then any files you want to trash you could move to another directory of your choosing instead (perhaps ~/trash/). -- Michael
