Password Protect on Trash Bin?

[Incentive I.C]

When I click empty trash is there a way i can make it make me put in my password so I can be sure i wont delete anything by accident.

I don't think that's trivial to do, probably requires changes to your file manager. How about instead you adopt the habit to open the Trash folder, look through the list of files, and only then click the Empty Trash button there. That's what I do.

One chewing gum solution is to make a sudo Trash script ..

Code: Select all

find . -name "Trash*"
nano ~/trash.sh
chmod +x ~/trash.sh
... the contents
#! /bin/sh
gksudo caja ~/.local/share/Trash/files
