Introduction:

The Trash feature in Ubuntu provides a safety net by storing deleted files and folders, allowing users to recover them if needed. However, some users may prefer to bypass the Trash and immediately delete files permanently. Disabling the Trash feature can help streamline file deletion and save storage space. In this blog post, we will walk you through the process of turning off the Trash feature on Ubuntu, giving you more control over your file management.
