Vscode: Remote-SSH & WSL: Support trash

[twni2016]

Issue Type: Feature Request

On my vscode remote-ssh (Ubuntu), I can only delete file permanently, which caused many troubles. Could vscode remote-ssh add features to remove file to trash?

On my local env, I can delete files to trash.

VS Code version: Code 1.39.2 (6ab598523be7a800d7f3eb4d92d7ab9a66069390, 2019-10-15T15:33:00.827Z)
OS version: Darwin x64 18.7.0
Remote OS version: Linux x64 4.4.0-165-generic

Sorry, I don't think it's covered by that issue. Instead, I don't have the option to delete file NOT permanently.

I think this is the responsibility of whichever extension you are using. Assuming it's the Microsoft one I suggest you open an issue at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release

If you do that please link to it from here, then close this one.

Thanks! It has been transferred. It's a Microsoft extension.

Is there a generic location where the trash is on OS? To implement this the remote file system provider would have to move the file into there.

I have also noticed this on my Ubuntu remote, I can only "Delete permanently" in remote but if I open local vscode on the same machine, then it will move files to the trash. So I assume we have some way to find the trash?

[bpasero]

@roblourens sure, using Electron API shell.moveItemToTrash

[twni2016]

@bpasero For my Ubuntu 16.04, the trash is located at /home/$USER/.local/share/Trash. But "Delete permanently" is equivalent to command rm instead of gvfs-trash which is to move to trash.

I was going to request the same feature. I'm on a Windows machine and it really scares me when I want to delete files since there's only a "Delete Permanently" option which doesn't send files to Recycle Bin.
Remote WSL is so cool that I sometimes almost forget I'm working remotely in my WSL and since the option "Enable Trash" is enabled in my VSCode I think it's a bit confusing/contradictory that Remote WSL doesn't obey one rule of the settings of VSCode.

npm package like trash may help: https://www.npmjs.com/package/trash
