Oh, and, one thing that I missed; as well as instead using "delete file",
for
wastage receptacle, similarly, I suggest another simple, clear,
concise and unambiguous and meaningful phrase; using "clear deleted files",
instead of "empty wastage receptacle". The latter sounds, as does "empty
trash can", like "tip out the spittoon", or, "defenestrate the chamber pot
contents"....

But, the use of such terminology (the simple, clear, unambiguous and
meaningful terminology) would be logical, and, since when has software been
designed with logic in mind? Aren't software developers the people
responsible
for, and, the people who use, those grass cookie things, that float around
in
the ether of the internet?

:p)
