trash-put

$ trash-put ${filename_or_directory1 filename_or_directory2 ---}

try on your machine

The command "trash-put ${filename_or_directory1 filename_or_directory2 ---}" is used to move the specified file(s) or directory(s) to the trash bin.

Here's how it works:

"trash-put": This is the command itself, which is typically associated with a trash/Recycle Bin utility on Linux systems. It allows you to move files to the trash instead of permanently deleting them.
"${filename_or_directory1 filename_or_directory2 ---}": This part represents the file(s) or directory(s) that you want to move to the trash bin. You can specify one or multiple filenames or directories separated by spaces (or ---) within the curly brackets.

Examples:

trash-put file.txt: This would move the file named "file.txt" to the trash bin.
trash-put folder1 folder2: This would move both "folder1" and "folder2" to the trash bin.
trash-put file1.txt file2.txt folder1: This would move "file1.txt," "file2.txt," and "folder1" to the trash bin.

By utilizing the "trash-put" command, you can avoid permanently deleting files or directories and have the option to restore them if needed.
