The Trash can is an overlooked feature of macOS, but it’s a pretty key element of any Mac. After all, if you end up losing a bunch of vital files because you forgot to take them out of the Trash, you’ll know how important understanding it is.
Using it is straightforward. You can drag a file onto the Trash can icon, right-click an item and pick Move to Trash, or select the file and press Cmd-Del. You can then empty the Trash when you’re ready. But there are plenty of extra features and little-known tricks that can save you a bunch of time and hassle in the long run. Mastering them can be an excellent way to use your Mac more efficiently.
