I recently deleted the .Trash file in Ubuntu server using the command
alias rm="mv -t ~/.Trash"
and now I am unable to delete any file using rm command, and when I use it I get:
mv: accessing `/home/user1/.Trash': No such file or directory.
How can I re-create the .Trash file to be able to delete files?
server trash rm

no problem. I want to note that you're not deleting files with that alias, you're just moving them to another directory. is that the intended behaviour? Ubuntu server doesn't use a "trash" by default

You can (re-)create directories with the mkdir command. In this case:
mkdir -m 700 ~/.Trash
-m 700 sets the directory access mode to prohibit access to other users since they shouldn't normally snoop in your trash even if they otherwise share read access to your home directory.
Additionally you should probably remove the misleading rm alias:
unalias rm
If you want a command to move files to trash like many (graphical) file managers do you can use the gvfs-trash application from the gvfs-bin package (not installed by default in Ubuntu Server). If that's too long to type for you you can set up an alias similar to this:
alias trash='gvfs-trash'
