.Trash directory
On mounted partition, when I trash $somedir$, it just works fine as the $somedir$ is moved to my OS's home trash directory. But, a directory named .Trash is automatically generated in the path I executed the command. If I tried to trash .Trash, it fails like the below.
This result happened on Ubuntu 18.04.
