And the Unix filth did it. Without moving files to trash can. And there is no way to get anything back, because WORSE IS BETTER and the the shitty Unix unlinks everything even when filesystem has enough free space. Why? Why Unix cant die and be replaced with a good OS?

Deleting a file removes the reference to that file.
Yep. Unix does this just so you wont be able to get your file back.

Moving a file changes the reference to the file.
Unix does this just so your storage device wears faster.

Please explain how latter is more efficient than the former.
