The trash can on the Mac is supposed to provide a safety net, so that after
a file is "deleted", it stays in the trash can until you explicitly empty
the trash, giving you a chance to change your mind about the deletion. I
find in practice that I always empty the trash without thinking immediately
after putting a file there, so that in my case the safety net is illusory,
and only slows me down.
