Hi!  
When using the OpenDrive backend, deleting a file calls DELETE /v1/file.json, which deletes the file permanently. But some types of OD users do not have permission to permanently delete files, they can only move files to trash (POST /v1/file/trash.json).

It would be great if you could add some flag like --opendrive-use-trash (default: true) like it is done for Google Drive.  
Thanks in advance!
