How do I find the recycle bin on my Mac computer

The Recycle Bin, also known as the Trash on a Mac computer, is a temporary storage location for deleted files. Here's how you can find it:

Use the Finder: Open the Finder app on your Mac and click on the "Go" menu. Then, select "Go to Folder" and type /.Trash in the search bar.
Use the Spotlight search: Click on the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of your screen. Then, type "Trash" in the search bar.
Use a keyboard shortcut: Press the Command + Shift + Delete keys simultaneously to open the Trash.

The Trash folder contains all the files you have recently deleted. You can recover deleted files from the Trash by dragging them back to their original location or to a new folder.

How do I empty the Trash? Right-click on the Trash icon and select "Empty Trash."
Can I recover deleted files from the Trash? Yes, as long as you haven't emptied the Trash.
What happens to files I delete from the Trash? They are permanently deleted from your computer.
How can I stop the Trash from filling up automatically? Change the settings in System Preferences > Dock & Menu Bar > Trash.
Can I create multiple Trash folders? No, there is only one Trash folder on a Mac computer.
