You can setup some kind of Trashcan yourself. Make a directory on your
system somewhere and make an alias for rm:
alias rm = 'mv ? /tmp/Trashcan'
not sure about the ? which should be the filename. Or write a script for
this. If you are on a multiuser system, you definitely have to write a
script, which moves the deleted files into subdirs in the Trashcan which
are unreadable by other users.
