Linux shell has no such thing as a recycle bin, thats a windows thing 
(some linux graphical desktops might create one in for a user's files, 
it would be in his /home/username somewhere).

df -h shows a lot of info, for instance on one of my servers, I see...

# df -h

2.5GB + 4.1 GB + the odds and ends there adds up to pretty close to the 
7.1GB 'used' in the /home file system.
