then where does the items goes when we delete something?... is it permanently deleted?... i think its a bit dangerous.... isnt there any way to retrieve deleted items?

with pcmanfm yes all items are deleted immediately, try using thunar instead.

I think the pcmanfm should'nt do that cause of their focus to bring simplicity. You just switch to thunar or nautilus, but nautilus is too big. Thunar is good choice.

Hi,

I'm trying to make LXDE use Thunar as default in stead of pcmanfm but can't figure out how it's done...

Any ideas..?

For those who will search and find this thread, please be informed that PCManFM Latest Version is "PCManFM 0.9.9" and it's the default FM in Lubuntu 11.04 and it has Trash.

Hummmm... I have 9.9 and I can't seem to find TRASH.
Please explain where I should see it.

Start PCManFM (file manager).

PCManFM sidebar by default (on the left) shows shortcuts in order top to bottom: Home Folder, Desktop, Trash, Applications.

11.10: Side pane needs to be set to Places. View > Side Pane > Places.
11.04: Side pane only shows Places.

Trash is also accessible from Go > Trash Can.

For sidebar, right click on Trash to empty.

Note: This is true for Lubuntu, as I am using it at the moment. I expect it would be the same in LXDE installed within Ubuntu, but perhaps it's not for some reason.
