I solved this problem by creating a directory called ~/junk.  In my alias file
is a line like this:

alias rm '/bin/mv -f \!* ~strong/junk'

Every rm command is now converted to a mv to junk directory file.  After
sufficient time has elapsed, you can clear the directory and start over again
by typing /bin/rm ~/junk/*
