I tried to delete a folder which I access via terminal.app. Though the Finder moved the folder to the Trash, I was still able to see the contents and edit the file from terminal.
* created a textfile
* Moved the entire directory to the Trash via the Finder
* I see files even after moving the folder to the Trash
* I still managed to edit/append content to the file
The file is not available in Recent menu of Textedit after being moved to the Trash, but can be viewed in terminal with




cat
command. Even after moving to the Trash, the directory PWD
doesn't update path (with trash/tmp path)

Is there a way to synchronize the command line with Finder for this scenario?
