As a matter of fact I was given the answer for hiding, not disabling (in
my understanding of this word[*]) the Trash. When I tried to remove a file,
it was moved to some "invisible" Trash. It is not what I wanted to achieve.
I wanted files I delete to be DELETED, not moved to some hidden place.

"hide" are not the same.
