I've been using AntiX since a few weeks. And I have deleted a lot of data but I still see the free space not increased.

Where is the Recycle bin or Trash? I'm unable to find it anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

If you have kde installed the trash bin is a .Trash folder in the base directory of the underlying mountpoint.

It would help to know how you deleted with what window manager.

The trash is in ~/.local/share/trash but you should be able to just empty it from the file manager GUI.

The empty trash or recycle bin option in pcmanfm doesn't seem to work. But as secipolla suggested, you can browse to ~/.local/share/trash and delete them. I've sometimes had to have root permission to do this.

As with Windows, if you are deleting something in pcmanfm, you can hold the shift key down, and the files will just delete and not go to the trash bin.

For a very good file manager with trash can abilities, try xfe. It isn't as powerful as pcmanfm when it comes to mounting devices, but it does have other advantages.

I don't seem to have this problem using pcmafm and fluxbox with Antix 8.5 or 8.2. I can see the available memory increase after I delete large files. Also, I don't seem to have a ./local/share/trash folder.
