Total Commander

If I select a large folder with a large number of files and subfolders inside, then I can contemplate the dialogue for a long time
current deletion of objects with the following direction of action:
FROM: <and here the current deletion object is described> TO: <Recycle Bin>

What kind of "Recycle Bin" object is this? Where is it located, how to clean it?
Why is it transferred there and not immediately completely deleted from flash memory?
Are there any settings for this process somewhere?

Any comments?

Seems to be your Windows Trash Bin to be located at hidden real folder $Recycle.Bin on each drive.
The deletion mode is set at "Configuration - Options - Copy/Delete - [x] F8/Del deletes to recycle bin (Shift=directly)"

real folder $Recycle.Bin on each drive

???
We are in the "Android" main forum's thread ! There is no any drives))))
Exactly that's why I am asking the help about this completely unreasonable
logic of using this word/concept on the Android platform.

Which language do you use? The English version does not say "Recycle bin". And the help describes it like this:

Delete

With the X button you can delete the selected files.

Important note: The files will NOT be moved to some kind of Recycle bin, they will be deleted immediately!

That's because Android does not have a recycle bin.

Which language do you use?

Interesting question)))
If my profile states "Location: Russian Federation" - which lang can I use? RU of course.

But the main question is still here: = why "a recycle bin" - is a concept (does not matter with which
exactly words does it state) is still built-in inside the Android version of TC? IF we for sure know that
there is NO such "thing" in this OS?

And how can there even be a dialog for the deletion procedure indicating the direction?
FROM: <and here the current deletion object is described> TO: <I don’t know what word in English you
used to describe a recycle bin here>. RU translation uses strictly the word "Корзина".

It is strange that such a simple and almost completely theoretical question takes so long to get answers to it.

You already got your answer. Recycle bin is not used in the original English language, so it is a translation issue.

The original English text is: Trash
Translation to German: Löschen (Delete)
Translation to Danish: Papirkurv (Trash can)
Translation to Dutch: Prullenbak (Trash can)

Translation to Russian: Корзина (term for "Recycle Bin" in Russian computer interfaces)

I don't speak Russian, but perhaps a better word for it is мусорка?

Trash has the same meaning (so and as the "мусорка").
The only concept which is here is acceptable - is "delete permanently"!!!
And do not provide any variant of directions like "to trash", "to rec.bin", "to ..."
