I just noticed that my $HOME directory (debian/linux) had grown to a whopping 16G in size... a tenfold increase since the last monthly full backup of this machine.

I had been working on a rather large epub (c. 30M) over the last month or so and I found hundreds of copies of the epub in the ./Trash/files directory.

A quick test indicates that a new copy is added each time I delete a book from the Calibre directory.

How can I disable this feature in Calibre and make sure nothing ever gets written to this directory?
