    Hey Verwijs​, thanks for your post!

    Just to clarify this a bit, are you referring to the Dropbox desktop app? And would you like to be able to see what's in your trash and delete it through this option?

    Or do you perhaps want an option in the desktop app, like a link, that would redirect you to your deleted files on the Dropbox website to delete your files from there?

    Let me know!
