Environment

OS: Arch linux Desktop: i3 4.15.0.1 VScode version: 1.25.1

VScode base on electron, electron will call gvfs-trash to move file to trash.

If you type gvfs-trash in commandline , you may got this problem:

This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio trash' instead.
See 'gio help trash' for more info.

add this to you environment:

export ELECTRON_TRASH=gio

Following method not work in i3

Desktop :Gnome 3.28.2 VScode version: 1.24.1

When I want to delete file from explorer in vscode, following Error occurs:

Failed to delete using the Trash. Do you want to permanently delete instead?

Maybe gvfs-trash not work properly. It has been deprecated in this gnome version. So open shell, install another tool for help.

## need python installed
sudo easy_install trash-cli
