Documentation

Directory for move-file-to-trash to move files and directories to.

This directory is used only when the function system-move-file-to-trash is not defined. Relative paths are interpreted relative to default-directory. If the value is nil, Emacs uses a freedesktop.org-style trashcan.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 23.2.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 23.1.
