    How do I send files to trash using terminal

    I typically use rm to delete files, but they don't end up in my trash folder in case I want to recover them. How do I make that happen and how do I access my trash folder via terminal? Doing me best to work from terminal rather than GUI and this one has me stumped. I am using Mint Julia.

    Yikes! I expected this to be a simple command switch... Thanks and I will have to decide if I am brave enough to try this.
