Please also see the following output:I forgot to mention that I've made spacefm the default file manager of my system.Double-clicking the trash icon in the desktop screen and then choosing a file manager to open it results in /home/user being shown, not the trash directory, regardless if I choose thunar or spacefm.

But if I purge gvfs itself, Trash vanishes from Thunar and cannot be
accessed by manually entering the location "trash:///".
If you are missing the gvfs package, you can install it with:
apt-get install gvfs
or via the package manager of your choice.
