You can do export GOTRASH_PATH=<an empty folder> before make install to specifiy GOTRASH_PATH. This will make all users' GOTRASH_PATH the same as what you specified.

To uninstall gotrash, just simply delete the GOTRASH_PATH folder and the gotrash command file. ** Note that this will permanently delete any trash in the trash bin.**
