Where is the Trash-Folder

In order to automatically delete files from my download folder I am searching for the Trash folder. In previous versions there was a kind of "move to trash" ready order (as far as I remember. But now these orders in my rules do not work anymore.
Anybody with an idea? Thank you!

If you use the "Move" action, "Trash" is one of the destinations.

That implies a problem with your trash. Are you comfortable using the commandline?

Thanks. Looks like a file named .Trash was put there instead of a folder. Try the following sequence:
- Code: Select all
rm ~/.Trash
mkdir ~/.Trash
chmod 700 ~/Trash
Reboot just in case and report back if you still have problems.

Thank you, it's working now
Additionally I had to give the Terminal.app Full Disk permissions in the security settings.
