In computing, the trash (also known as the recycle bin) is temporary storage for files that have been deleted in a file manager by the user, but not yet permanently erased from the physical media.

Recycle bin functionality is usually integrated into a desktop environment and its file manager. Examples include:

  • Mac OS and Mac OS X, with Macintosh Finder, as Trash (or Wastebasket in defunct localizations)
  • Microsoft Windows, with Windows Explorer
  • GNOME (Linux), with Nautilus
  • KDE (Linux), with Konqueror and Dolphin
  • Xfce (Linux), with Thunar
  • Amiga, when using the WorkBench. The Professional File System added trashcan-esque behavior at the filesystem level.
  • Windows Live, with Skydrive

Send folder to Linux rubbish bin in C#

I use the FileOperationAPIWrapper that can be found here to move files to the recycle bin on Windows with great success. I'm looking for how to do the same on Linux in C#. Perhaps the Linux trash is a static folder that I can simply move folders to?
