Error rm -i and deleting files from an index table

Hi, I am trying to make a command to delete my files out the trash can, but one at a time.

I am currently using rm - i to do this, but the original file locations for restoring my files are heard on a .txt file which I am using as an index table.

How would I manage to make it so that if I remove a file using rm - i, the original path location is removed from my FileLocations.txt file aswell?

I so far have tried using ls dustbin > dustbin.txt to have a copy of the files in a textfile that still exist, and then I was going to try compare the files and remove the lines that did contain any of the file names in my dustbin.txt file.

The problem is I don't really know how to do this, hope you can help, thanks. Smilie
