Maybe not helpful for Leroy (or even avoiding his particular goof), but the trash-cli package is helpful for those who do file management on the command line Sent from my iPhone

First, a strong caution: you absolutely do not want an "rm -rf *" in your shell's history. I find that one way of avoiding possibly problems with repeating history while in the wrong dir is to do something like "rm -rf ../Trash/*"
As to your current question: if you just want to know the typical permissions on those dirs, below is what mine look like, so you can probably just do "mkdir files && chmod 700 files" and "mkdir info && chmod 700 info".
