Using Java's File.delete() method

Question

When I used the File.delete() method to delete a file, where is the deleted file? I am using a Mac and I don\'t see the file in the Trash. I want to know where

Answer 1

The trash in Mac/Linux (or Recycle Bin, in Windows) only work with the specific file managers (Finder, Nautilus/Dolphin or Explorer) where they actually move a file into a temporary folder on the same partition (aka Trash / Recycle Bin), from where it's deleted.

From the core OS's point of you, delete() will permanently delete it.
