I have a couple of Samba shares on my NAS running Debian Squeeze which I access through Windows 7. Deleting any of the files from Windows will completely delete the files from the NAS server.

Is there anyway to have a similar feature installed like the Trash/Recycle Bin? It would be nice if there even was a similar concept as Delete, file goes to trash and is deleted, ShiftDelete, file is deleted and no keep copy is kept anywhere.

Is there such thing I could install?

I think you're looking for the vfs_recycle module to Samba.

In your smb.conf file for a given share:

[share] Path = /data/share vfs objects = recycle recycle:repository = .recycle recycle:keeptree = yes recycle:versions = yes

  • Does this configuration supports the Shift+Delete feature to permanently delete the file as mentioned by the OP? Commented Dec 18, 2021 at 19:42
  • @m7913d not sure, hadn't tried it. I suspect it will. Commented Dec 19, 2021 at 13:09
  • No, it does not. Even files shift-deleted are moved to the recycle bin. Commented Jun 22, 2024 at 10:25
