Apparently, Prism Launcher chose to adhere to the idiotic principle of the hidden “trashbin”, .Trash-$(uid), invented by Ubuntu. Even though it’s based on QT. This can’t be disabled. It accumulated 139 GB of literal Trash, fully replaceable, over time. Just … why? There’s even an open issue about this, for over a year, referenced multiple times. I guess I have another point on my agenda.

    @troyunrau Ok did try, delete + center button mouse click does remove the file however since the only delete on my keyboard is right side and I’m right handed handed and and thus also use the mouse right hand, not terribly useful.

      Well, that’s on mate then. In KDE you could remap to a combo of your choice with ease

          All I’m hearing is complaining. It’s open source. Fix mate then so it does what you want.

            @troyunrau Not complaining, just explaining my choice for a particular desktop and preferences. I realize it’s open source and I realize I have the source so if it’s severe enough I have the option of modifying it. If only I had infinite time.
