Expected result

When “Move to system trash” is selected, deleting a file from Obsidian should move the file to the Android system trash, rather than storing it in Obsidian’s .trash folder.

Actual result

Despite “Move to system trash” being selected, the deleted file is moved to the vault’s .trash folder instead of the Android system trash.

there is no universal system trash on Android. That toggle should be removed on Android.

Well then, can items in the .trash folder be auto-deleted after a set amount of time? Because otherwise, the files are never actually deleted.
