[Solved] Deleting files from storage partition

OK, long story short - I created a dual-boot yesterday, crunchbang wheezy (32bit) and Q4 orion (32bit), and there is a shared storage partition (ntfs). Also, I installed disk-mamager and set it to mount the partition at boot.

Deleting a file from the storage partition in #! sends the file to the trash, but in Q4 I get this message:

Some files cannot be moved to trash can because the underlying file systems don't support this operation.
Do you want to delete them instead?

I know wheezy and jessie are two different systems, mostly due to systemd, but I'm not sure how to change this action in Q4 to send the deleted files to trash.

- Thanks in advance for any help.

(Here's my Q4 fstab)

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>

#Entry for /dev/sda2 :

Do you use PCManFM file manager ? If so, information in this thread could solve the issue https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207042 , please see the last post.
