It is non-destructive as long as you don't empty the trash. If you have 
a part of a clip in the trash, select part of the clip that you still 
have present, then select the Advanced->Restore Clip menu option to 
have it restored.

The other caveat is that if all the "pieces" of a clip are in the trash 
and you save the project, that clip will be deleted. As long as one 
little part of a given clip is in the clips pane or the timeline, you 
can always restore the clip as long as you don't empty the trash.

Hope I didn't make things even more confusing.
