MX Respins • Re: Cannot send files to the basket bin

I am sorry it toke me so long to return. I have been working in another computer an left this one aside
In fact I had to pick it up from my office.

Some information are missing. E.g Which file system is the partition formatted with?

Partition is GPT, dev/sda2 ext4 , dev/sda3 (DATA) ext4

Further what file-manager is in use?
PCManFM

Does the file-manager support Trash/Wastebasket, and is normally "Send to Trash" working?
Yes

You can check wheter gvfs/gio-trashing is working
e.g by these steps on the terminal command line:
* Open terminal as normal user.
*change to the DATA mounted partition* List current items with the Wastebaket/Trash
It doesn't show anything, it was clean
It returns to cd ~/DATA

* Maybe clear /remove all items within the Trash:* Now the test:
create a TEST directory and change into, and create a testfile.txt* Now send this testfile to the wastebasket:* list the trash-bin:Open the filemanager and check the Trash item "testfile.txt"
is visable.

This worked perfectly

If not, the file manger you are use might not support trashing
for files located on another mounted partition.
If so, consider another filemanager to be used.
HTH
PS:
Maybe this:
WIthin PCmanFM preferences window -> General
do untick "Erase files on removable media instead of "trash can" creation"
as show in these pictures:
enable-trash-pcmanfm-for-mounts-en.png
in Spanish:
enable-trash-pcmanfm-for-mounts-es.png

This last step did the trick (so far) . THANK YOU !

It seems my systems understands that sda3 is an external unit. Because now I can move the files there to the basket-bin.
