7.1.4 move-file-to-trash

First, if the function system-move-file-to-trash is defined, call it with FILENAME as an argument.

Otherwise, move the file (or directory) named FILENAME to the trash, or if the variable trash-directory is defined³, to it.

When delete-by-moving-to-trash is non-nil, this function is called by delete-file and delete-directory instead of deleting files outright.

Function: move-file-to-trash filename ¶

FILENAME

file or directory to move to trash.
