How could this be possible? I don't know exactly how the "trash bin"
works (for one thing, I don't use it, I use rm), but if I were
writing such a thing, I'd simply rename the file to the Trashcan
directory, and make an entry in a database. Perhaps it was in a
different disc? That might make sense.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
