Do all DEs store the trash in the same place?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Be aware that for some removable (or otherwise non-local) media, some systems will create a
.Trash-###directory on the media itself in the root directory.This prevents unnecessary copying of files from the media to a local disk, and only a few media-specific location indicators actually need to be changed for the Trashed file(s).
The
###is generally the user's ID number as stored in/etc/passwd, and, on Debian derivatives at least, is usually1000for the first user,1001for the second, etc., but I have heard of some systems that just use.Trashwith no suffix, or did so at some point in the past.
