In computing, the trash (also known as the recycle bin) is temporary storage for files that have been deleted in a file manager by the user, but not yet permanently erased from the physical media.

Recycle bin functionality is usually integrated into a desktop environment and its file manager. Examples include:

  • Mac OS and Mac OS X, with Macintosh Finder, as Trash (or Wastebasket in defunct localizations)
  • Microsoft Windows, with Windows Explorer
  • GNOME (Linux), with Nautilus
  • KDE (Linux), with Konqueror and Dolphin
  • Xfce (Linux), with Thunar
  • Amiga, when using the WorkBench. The Professional File System added trashcan-esque behavior at the filesystem level.
  • Windows Live, with Skydrive
