Answer 1

Durga Viswanath Gadiraju is right it is question of time, maybe my PC is slow, and also uses VM, after 10 minutes files are physically deleted, if you are using the algorythm that used by me in the question. Note set up the fs.trash.interval parameter = 1. Or by default files won't be deleted faster than 6 hours.
