If you think there is any possibility that you might want the file back, you could just as well use 'mv' to get the files out of your way. The problem is when you delete a file _because_ you are _sure_ you will never need it again - and you later realize you made a mistake. I am not sure if libtrash is the "right" solution, but any other solutions that in reality just replicates options you already have are really no solutions at all. Rgds.
