Trash portal is not available error

[spflanze]

My OS is Ubuntu 20.04. I seek to back up everything in my home directory onto an external USB drive prior to migration to Pop!_OS 21.04.

The source directory on the left is set to:
/home/me/

The destination directory on the right is set to the USB drive:
/media/me/AADE755ADE75202D/home/me/

I set the destination directory to be a mirror of the source directory. While synchronizing this error appeared:

Unable to move "/media/me/AADE755ADE75202D/home/me/.bash_history" to the recycle bin.

G_IO_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED: Trash portal is not available [g_file_trash]


I interpret this error to mean the file ".bash_history" needed to be updated. So it attempted to move the version of this file on the destination directory to trash to make way for the more recent version on the source directory. But t he USB drive does not have a trash bin to move it to, and so the error.

How can FreeFileSync be configured to simply obliterate the file on the destination directory instead of attempting to move it to trash?

In the gearwheel icon's menu I found the option to delete permanently. I am able to do the back up now.
