I apologize for contradicting Ralf and you. Since the location of
the trash folders is kept secret by KDE (no mention in the manual or
anywhere else), we actually *have* to find them ourselves. My
method is keeping the name of a file to be deleted and then
performing 'find ~ -name <deleted_file>'. If somebody knows an
easier or more elegant way to find trash folders, I would be
grateful if he let me know it.
Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
