The files that get deleted from the Finder in Mac OS X are directly pushed into the Trash immediately. These files remain here, and act a s a blessing for the user, as he can retrieve the file from the Trash whenever he wants. If you are a person who switches between Windows and Mac frequently, then the Trash is equivalent to the Windows Recycle Bin.
You can double click on the Trash folder to see the contents of the Trash in the Finder. There are several ways of deleting files, by moving them to the trash. They are,
- By dragging and dropping a file on the trash icon in the dock
- Control-click on a file and select “Move to Trash” from the menu
- Select a file or files and use the keyboard shortcut: command-backspace
- Select a file or files and choose “File > Move to Trash” from the menu bar
If you are particularly concerned about security, then you can make items deleted from the trash absolutely un-recoverable by choosing “Finder > Secure Empty Trash” from the menu bar. After emptying the Trash, we sometimes realize that we have accidentally deleted an important file that we need immediately. Under such circumstances, you need a data recovery software that can undelete Trash Mac, and lets you recover the deleted files.
REMO Recover (Mac) Pro Edition software lets you undelete Trash in Mac machines, and recovers all the deleted data from the Trash in both HFS and HFS+ volumes.
