Working in any operating system involves having to delete multiple files every day and when we work with a computer it is a very normal action to create and delete unnecessary files. While it is true that deleting a file has nothing peculiar, managing the Recycle Bin is good to be clear about it.
Many are the users who send to the Trash those files that they do not want at any given moment and that, however, they do not want to delete completely. Yes, it is something that is not understood but surely many of those who are reading this article will have done that at some time.
In my case it would be to lose information and it is that every time I send something to the recycle bin, I practically empty it at the same moment with the right button Empty Trash. I know that it is something that I should control a little more and it is that on some occasion than another I have sent the wrong file and I have emptied it having to use a recovery program if that file is essential.
Well, neither so much nor so little and there are also users who have the trash to burst, thousands and thousands of files of all kinds that take up considerable space on the hard drive.
Already ours partner Ignacio He told us, not long ago, that for those users and taking into account that when you send a file to the trash it is because you are already sure that it is useless, macOS lets you configure the emptying of the Trash.
For this we will enter Finder> Preferences> Advanced> Delete items from the trash after 30 days
In this way, every 30 days the trash will undergo an automatic emptying of the files that have been in those 30 days. It is therefore one more option that Apple has made available to users on macOS and we will tell you about it.
In my case, I try to do the trash management with a third-party program called CleanMyMac. It is an application that is paid but it is highly recommended to have and is that you can empty the trash in a more detailed way and allows us to search for garbage in the system where any mortal would spend hours doing it, being able to eliminate crucial files from the system . You can download a sample for testing from the following website. Its price is 39,95 euros.
