I noticed that I can't drag files into my trash folder anymore. Instead of files being sent to the trash bin they are automatically deleted. When I tried to fix this using the terminal nothing changed since there was nothing in my trash bin. What can I do to fix this?
Perhaps one of those harder to find when or if you need it,
such as this; may be found by sifting through details in a
System Preference item.
You'd be looking to see if a Check Box had been chosen
to 'Automatically Remove items in Trash' (or to that effect.)
Not sure when I'd last seen that choice box; never did
engage it, since I prefer to know when that empties .
Although I tried to search the idea, several old extinct browser
bookmarks came up; some originally had referenced this topic.
But now do nothing except show the page cannot be reached.
The feature is a system wide one, likely in System Preferences.
Or an Apple menu bar item. By now someone may've found it.

You may see what the 'Finder' preferences shows.
Mine has checkboxes, among those one suggests:
Is the drive in question a Network Drive or a shared drive?
Trash deletes items when I drag them there. How can I fix this?
