On Cinnamon and LxQt, the trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash. Is it the same for all desktop environments?

        There is usually misunderstanding behind this type of questions. for example “why isn’t ilike on macos where it is ~/.Trash” and then one has to explain what XDG_DATA_HOME is and why it makes sense for trash to be there (And that it doesn’t have to do with the desktop environment as well).

        Or op just lost something important thinking that the trash was somewhere else.

      I also don’t understand. Sometimes the answer to a question is equally or more interesting than the reason a question is asked

      I need the exact location of the trash so I can specify it in the excludes for my backup tool. If it changes with the DE, then I have to change the excludes. But it doesn’t.
