Trash, Waste, Bin. Is a foldername a noun or a verb for things that are disposed?

The mail RFC uses 'Trash', is that different in Brittain? Just curious.

Well the files that I updated are just for use in the UI and have nothing to do with RFCs. The USA uses many different words and spellings to the rest of the English speaking world. See https://www.lexico.com/definition/trash and https://www.lexico.com/definition/bin for reference.

Shouldn't it be "Rubbish" then?

'Bin' for short, ie. "Put that email in the (rubbish) bin"

I've never seen any piece of software with GB language selected using "Bin" for the folder containing deleted files, emails, etc. The name of that folder is normally "Deleted" [eg. see Thunderbird for emails, see Owncloud/Nextcloud for files, etc.] when GB language is selected, but "Trash" is also common. As said, never seen "Bin" though.

My 2 cents..

'Bin' or 'Deleted' is not a big deal. But not 'Trash'.
