Hello,
Please open a new thread when you have a question, do not answer to another
one's post to ask it :-)
I have never used it but basically just use commands from the trash-cli package
instead of rm.
I definitely appreciate all the helpful replies I received, but my message was
mainly a comment and not a request for help.
My point was that Unix/Linux has a lot of sharp edges where the user can hurt
themselves if not careful.
And when doing system administration tasks it is routine to run commands under
sudo (and sudo caches the password).
And then if you do:
sudo rm -rf $x/$y and x and y are not defined...
Or you mean to format a bootable usb and use: dd but end up with the wrong
output device...
Anyways it was meant as a response to op, who said:

To me anytime you need to use su or sudo to do something, you should not think
it is harmless, no matter how simple or easy.
