Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. I ran trash somefile; then went to my desktop. The trash can icon stays looking like it it empty. When I right click on the trash can, the empty trash option is not available.

trash-cli version Output of: trash-put --version trash-put 0.22.4.16

Operating system:

To Reproduce Copy and paste the commands (and their output) to execute in order to reproduce the behavior:

$ touch foo $ trash-put foo $ ls foo ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory

$ trash-list trash-list 2022-06-16 14:16:29 /home/jhatcher/Downloads/foo

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. File shows up in trash-list, but desktop trash can icon does not show indication of anything being in trash and does not offer the empty trash option on right click.

This is a problem of your Desktop Environment. It cannot be solved intervening on trash-cli. Your desktop environment probably is not watching the filesystem for changes in the ~/.local/share/Trash/ directory. I suggest you to ask assistance to your Desktop Environment.
