We can access the Trash folder using the Terminal by making use of the cd command followed by ~/.Trash.
Example:% cd ~/.Trash
% pwd
/Users/c2ctech/.Trash
Now but when you try to do an ls command, you will get an error "ls: .: Operation not permitted"
This can still be handly to move files to Trash from Terminal instead of using the rm command which will delete the file(s) permanently.
Example:
mv oldfile.csv ~/.Trash
