"Where used" finds the parent items  also in the trash

You can't permanently delete an item from a trash if it is in use in any structure. If the parent item is also in the trash, you can drift into a situation where emptying the trash does not proceed despite repeated attempts.

• Now the Where used search function finds items also in the Trash, so you can find the parent item from the Trash.
