Debian Trixie with KDE Plasma Deleting files from a NFS mount downloads the files and wants to put them in the Trash Can of the Laptop. This does not happen on the same Laptop with GNOME. These are movie files and it would take a long time to delete, plus I don't have that much disk space on the Laptop anyway. This is a bug. Dolphin should not treat NFS as a local storage and it should not attempt to download files to local client before deleting remote files on NFS. It should just delete them.
For what it's worth, I'm not personally sure but this seems potentially related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=493640

Git commit 0a63a9190642f9b7b8fd6252afffbf48f1a36165 by Méven Car, on behalf of Oliver Schramm. Committed on 11/11/2025 at 10:59. Pushed by meven into branch 'master'. trash: don't fallback to home trash if trash is unavailable If no trash can be created for the partition or network share, it might not be desirable to move a file to the main trash on the home partition. Especially when the partition is tmpfs (like /tmp), it would be counterintuitive when the files would be persisted when it is "removed". Even though this means, we can no longer test trash by using files under /tmp. So instead provide the user with a choice to delete the file directly.
