Description
Instead of rm-ing the folders when a delete is triggered, it would be helpful to have an option that trashes them instead such as --trash. This is much safer and reversible.

Research direction
Start in src/services/linux-files.service.ts at the linked rm call and review how the delete action is triggered. Add an optional --trash path using the referenced trash package, while retaining permanent deletion otherwise; done means selected folders can be safely restored when the option is used.
