Actually if you deleted it like I said, it will come back. I found it's built in to KDE. Click on Control Center, Look and Feel, Desktop, Paths tab. You will see where you can select the path for the KDE trash can which by default will be on your desktop. You can change the path to something other than your desktop and it will be gone for good (probably "/home/user/Trash" would be a good location).

You should be able to recover your Recycle Bin by using TweakUI.
You can get TweakUI at
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/PowerToys/Networking/NTTweakUI.asp
To recover your recycle bin just go to the desktop options in TweakUI and check the recycle bin icon(it will be unchecked right now).

he doesn't need to download some app just to fix his recycle bin problem, and honestly, that was a mean trick, telling him to get tweakUI. I installed it when i was more naive and i learned the hard way how much wrong registry editing that app does...
well no more. i use mandrake 9.0 now...

Sadly, it is what he needs to recover his recycle bin. As long as he don't fuck with any other Windows settings in TweakUI he should be fine.

Actually, I was really pissed, so I:
did a: rm -r /desktop/Trash.
and then I could delete it from my home desktop.
I already rebooted, and it's goooooone! :D

Zombie8797 I thought the recycling bin was stupid too, not because it functions like apple's trash can, but because it is a Recycling bin! As in re-use.
Why the fuck are you dumping files you want deleted into a directory that says essentially it will put them back to use at a latter time? Thus, the trashcan is a better desktop metaphor :D
But I guess that's just personal opinon.
As for FkTheSoft: don't listen to the anti-Mac crowd. They usually don't have any long term experience with Mac's, or have only experienced older more unstable systems in the past. Just as a note, I can easely relate to Zombies4848 trials with the first gen iMac he once owned.
If you have the cash go for a Mac. They are stable, easy to use, and will never EVER give you any problems. They are based on the same rock-solid UNIX core that Linux is based on, meaning that you do not only benefit from having a top-end GUI with plenty of main-stream software like Photoshop among others, but you also gain access to a vast library of Free UNIX software, not to mention free Darwin software (the name used for the type of UNIX run under OS X)
OSX on a Mac is the best user experience there is. Someone once said on these forums, that Quality is long remembered after price. And the truth is Mac users don't upgrade their computers as often as PC users, I have seen more PC's in garbagebins than old Mac's. They are excellent, truely PERSONAL computers.
Oh ya, allways buy 3rd party RAM lest apple shafts you with that price ;)
(NOTE: PC's here refferes to Wintel boxes, all bets are off when it comes to Linux based comps.)
