Add the recycle.so vfs object. Here's how I've got it set on my file
server:
From smb.conf [Global] section to enable a "recycle bin" on all shares:
=======================================
vfs object = /usr/lib/samba/vfs/recycle.so
vfs options = /etc/samba/recycle.conf
=======================================
# recycle.conf
# name of the recycle bin at root level of share
name = .recycle/%U
# mode :
# KEEP_DIRECTORIES = retain directory hierarchy of deleted file,
# i.e. recreate all directories in recycle bin
# VERSIONS = create copies in case of identical file names in
recycle bin
# TOUCH = touch access date of files moved into the recycle bin
mode = KEEP_DIRECTORIES|VERSIONS|TOUCH
# maximum file size to be moved to the recycle bin (0 means any size)
maxsize = 0
# exclude file names with the following extensions:
exclude = *.tmp|*.temp|*.o|*.obj|~$*
# exclude directories:
excludedir = /tmp|/temp|/cache
# Add file extensions of files where no versioning is wanted (i.e. copy
# 1...)
# only valid when mode=VERSIONS is set
noversions = *.pst|*.exe
