What "This Volume Has No Trash" Means
Why some disks and network folders cannot use the Trash, and what that means when you delete a file there.
Some disks and network folders cannot hold a Trash. When you delete a file there, the app says This Volume Has No Trash.
On these disks, deleting a file removes it for good. The Trash cannot bring it back.
What to Do
- To keep a copy, copy the file to your Mac first. Then delete the file on the volume.
- Delete a file on a volume with no Trash only when you are sure you do not need it.
