Done it.
Desktop
create link to location URL
call it trash
url is trash:/
the icon appears and in my case full of trash!!!
Thanks for your help.
Correct. My Bad, sorry
Reply from Novell - not tried either.
With regards to Service Request
If you want to restor the trashcan there are 2 ways. 1 you can add the trashcan Plasmoid again. Click on the cashew in the upper right corner choose the add widget Option and add the trashcan plasmoid from the list.
The other option is to delete the .kde4 folder from your homedirectory (this is a hidden folder). I would advise this if you ghave no data to lose. When you log into KDE4 the next time it will create a new default profile.
Yes, this was it.

This was what ended up working for me to get it back.
Why not right click the desktop and click “add widget” and then drag the wastebin to the desktop?
I’m no expert, so I’m mainly just wondering if this is not a good way to do this.

-=WELCOME=- new poster, thanks for your input, but a couple of things:
first, this is a two year old thread and in the original question the
software in use was openSUSE 11.1 with KDE3.5 and, i guess that may not
be what you are using ?
so, i don’t remember if your prescription would have worked for KDE3, or
not…
but, still–i’m using KDE4.6.0 and when i right click on the desktop
there is no “add widget” to select…
unless i have already unlocked the widgets…which, it is not
recommended to routinely leave them unlocked (that is the kind of thing
which leads to the user accidentally deleting the trash can in the first
place…
second: the normal practice for today’s KDE would be something like
-right click desktop, choose unlock widgets
-right click desktop, choose add widget
-drag trashcan to the desktop
-right click desktop, choose lock widgets
but, there are several ways to skin that cat.
you will see most of the answer givers here wanting to know what version
of openSUSE and what DE and version the question pertains to…because,
one answer does not fit all…and, i kinda doubt if your answer to the
two year old ‘problem’ would have worked…
as you move around here always notice the age of the messages/fixes/tips
as well as the versions involved…
and, that is especially important if you use google…doing that you
can easily find how-tos for mid-90s “Linux” that might murder your
system today.
