sudo chown `id -un` ~/.Trash

chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash

sudo chown root /.Trashes

sudo chmod u=wx,g=wx,o=w /.Trashes

After performing the aforementioned steps the user is able to create trash Mac OS X which is created on the desktop. This folder would now store all the files that are deleted from the Mac OS X.
