Trash, also known as the recycle bin or garbage bin, is a designated storage area on a computer or digital device where deleted files are temporarily stored before being permanently removed. When a user deletes a file, it is typically moved to the trash folder rather than being immediately erased from the system. This allows users to restore deleted files if needed or to permanently delete them later. The trash folder serves as a safety net, preventing accidental data loss and providing users with the opportunity to recover files that were deleted unintentionally. Users can manually empty the trash to permanently delete the files stored within it or configure automated settings to periodically empty the trash folder to free up storage space.
