What do you do if the user said no because they are not sure what they have in 
the trashcan ? Do you abort ? The other way it is pretty clear ? If you want 
to move stuff into the trashcan simply say no, empty the trashcan and try 
again. The same thing you would do with real trashcans. The difficulty comes 
when the size of the trashcan is smaller than the size of the file(s) 
deleted.

Anyways, this is a moot discussion right now since there is no such thing as a 
quota on the trashcan. It is just another folder and any quota it may have is 
set for the filesystem it resides on.
