Move Files to the Trash and Undo
How to move files to the Trash, how to undo the move, and how to delete files for good.
Moving a file to the Trash is the usual way to remove it. You can get it back from the Trash until the Trash is emptied.
Move Files to the Trash
- Select the files.
- Press ⌘⌫.
- In the Move to Trash? box, click Move to Trash.
Undo the Last Action
- Press ⌘Z.
Undo works for moves, copies, renames and trashing. It brings back what the last action changed.
Volumes With No Trash
Some disks and network folders have no Trash. On those, the app asks before it deletes. See What "This Volume Has No Trash" Means.
