When I accidentally delete a file in nautilus by pressing delete I normally can press Ctrl+z immediately afterwards to undo the action.

However, this seems to only work in my home directory. Whenever I work on a mounted partition I cannot "undo" a delete action.

How to fix this?

    This may depend whether Trash is enabled on that filesystem. Does your problem seems similar to this? askubuntu.com/questions/75154/…

  • The accepted answer looks a bit evolved and rather suited for NTFS partitions. I guess setting the uid=1000 option during the mount command in my /etc/fstab might do the trick, currently it is mounted like this: /dev/sda1 /media/data ext4 defaults 0 0 I will try this, once the partition is not in use anymore

  • where I would replace defaults with rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,user,async according to wiki.debian.org/fstab

  • FYI: Trash is working now on /media/data (mounted partition)
