Deleting large folders and recycle bin

[nexus186]

Most people have their nextcloud instance running in /var/www or /var/lib (because that's what all of the guides and walkthroughs say) on the main drive which usually smaller in capacity. On an SSD installation where /var/ has 200GB and a user deletes a 1TB file...what happens?

On other products such as Synology and QNap, they have accounted for this and it will go to the Recycle bin (the files are just moved to the recycle bin section and it counts towards storage).

I think nextcloud should at least give us a way to move the recycle bin somewhere there is ample storage capacity.

EDIT: I haven't tested but I'm also not sure what would happen if the recycle bin fills the disk up and there is no more space left. I'm pretty sure nextcloud would show server 500 errors. Not sure if this can be used for buffer overflow vectors.

Eitherway, there should be an option to prevent the delete if it cannot fit in the recycle bin.

Hum, deleted files are storred alongside any user file.
So they'll still be in the same /data folder.

If there was some room for the file before, moving it to the same fs won't change a thing :)
