sTrash

🦀 sTrash securely deletes trash and files.

A program that runs on top of shred to clean the recycle bins and files safely without leaving a trace. Completely rewritten in Rust from a previous Python implementation, ensuring performance, cross-environment compatibility, and safety.

Requirements

Before configuring and executing sTrash, ensure you have the following packages installed on your Linux system:

• gio: Standard CLI utility typically found in Glib packages.
• shred: Required for secure deletion logic.

Usage

You can use the built-in CLI options to target specific files, change iterations, or let it auto-clean all trash directories detected:

strash [OPTIONS]

Options:

• -p, --path <path>: Remove a specified folder or file (recursive for folders)
• -y, --yes: Do not show the action confirmation dialog (only for --path)
• -n, --iterations <N>: Replaces N times instead of 3 (the default)
• -k, --kill: Safely remove and close the terminal afterwards
• -c, --credits: Show credits
• -V, --version: Display the version

Building from Source

cargo build --release

The binary will be located in target/release/strash.
