Hi Andrew,
It appears you have two problems. The first is the trash can which I assume is a feature of Aos- 5.1 because I don't have it on any of my Aos-5.0.7 computers (I don't have Aos-5.1).
The second is why you are using it? My experience with the windows computer problems of friends usually start with the trash can. I have never seen a valid use of it - there are ways of undeleting files if you haven't overwritten them.
Now to your main concern - that of losing all the effort you have put in to get Aos to where you want it, for that you can do what I do - use DFSee to make an image of your boot partition plus all the other partitions for work and storage you have and store them externally to the computer (dare I say nas box). By having a dedicated boot partition you can update it, even totally replace it without losing your work.
Attached is the layout of the three hard disks of my main computer to give you an idea of what can be done.
