  I can't answer, but the reason why Apple removed the ability of many empty trash is that it does not work with modern and SSD; There is no way to guarantee you're replaces any element as data locations are moved dynamically. Because it is impossible to well to empty the trash that apple decides to not fall asleep in a false sense of security.

• Is there a way to reovery deleted files and photos of my garbage after trash has been accidentally empty?

  I had images files in my trash which were dleted. Is there a way of recovering these files now?

  Hi TheBanbys,

  Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community. It seems that files have been deleted from the Recycle Bin and you want to get it back.

  You should maybe use your favorite search engine and the search for a third party recovery tool and check:

  NOTE: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  If you have any questions with Windows do not hesitate to answer and we will be happy to help.

• I deleted 2 video clips in my trash and empty, is there a possibility of recovery? Or have I lost this data?...

  I deleted 2 video clips (produced from webcam), trash & emptied the Recycle Bin. can I get back them?

  Note a backup has been performed before the 2 video clips being produced (and combined in 1 clip, using a video editing program) & after trash realization had been emptied

  Hello

  It is very good free program to try to recover these files.

  http://www.Piriform.com/Recuva

  But the more you use this machine, the risk that these files will be overwrittien.

  Whenever a file is deleted from a hard drive, it is not cleared. What is deleted is the little information that points to the location of the file on the hard drive.

  See you soon.

• Cannot empty 'deleted items' or 'trash' of Windows Live Mail folder

  When I try to empty the 'deleted items' or 'trash' folder they seem empty as usual.  However, when I get back later, all the files are there more duplicates.  More I empty, more they fill up with duplicates.  The records are now huge.  I use Window Live Mail with aol.

  None of your account settings (see properties) are to leave a copy of the emails on the server?  If so try to uncheck this option.

  With AOL you can get on its Web site, log in and delete the messages there?

  With Windows Mail, this is the official site of the Forum.

• Put the files in the trash, empty the trash, and then doing some other stuff, and then when I couldn't find the files again, I reinstalled windows vista... now I need/want these files

  I sent files to the trash, and then I emptied the trash, and then realized that I only need/want these files, so I went to look for them, then screwed up everything while doing so somehow a shortcut on my desktop, then I put in the disc to reboot/reinstall the entire system windows vista... can we recover these items , or they are gone forever?

  I don't know what kind to reinstall you did.  If it was a repair/upgrade, you may be in better shape (fact he preserve your data and programs after the re - install - then you have made the right kind of re - install).

  If you did a reinstall to repair/upgrade and if you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  If this does not work, here are a few free recovery programs that might help (if you did a lot for the system, because the files have been deleted, then chances are that less as they might otherwise be - see notes below):

  http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).  The fact that you did a re - install is not good for what is successful, - but it's worth a try.

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• by mistake I deleted all folders in my file saved/trash and need to know how I can get back them

  I had a folder where I have stored on my email from Mozilla web sites. I need to recover deleted trash

  Try this add-on. https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/index-en.html#recDelMsg

  If the files have not been compacted or in the case of junk and trash can use the empty option, then the mail can be recovered.

• I can't "Select all" in any category, such as 'Trash' or 'Sent' to remove any.

  I can find is no longer a "select all", nor can I scroll to select items in the 'Trash' or 'Sent' to remove them.

  RE: Trash:
  You don't need to 'select all', you right-click on the trash folder and select "empty trash".

  RE: Send the file:
  Select the first email, then press "Ctrl" + "A" key to highlight all emails.
  They will appear in the stream of messages as conversations.
  Click on the button 'delete '.
  This will remove all the emails highlighted.
  then right click on the "Sent" folder and select "Compact" to remove all traces of emails "marked as deleted.

• How to remove trash in one fell swoop?

  We have over 600 emails in the trash. To remove one at a time is almost too much of your time. How can I get rid of them quickly and permanently?

  Make sure that you compact your folders regularly too.

• How can I empty easily deleted folder?

  I want to empty e-mail removed easily without doing it individually

  I'm not a user of Thunderbird, but based on what I've read...

  To immediately remove everything in the trash, you should be able to do one of these:

  • Right click on the file > empty trash
  • Menu file > empty trash

  In any case, you should also be able to delete all messages by clicking to select the first message, then using either

  • CTRL + a (select) all
  • Shift + end (select at the end)
  • Scroll down > shift + click on the last message

  All of the selected messages, press the delete key.

  A little luck?

  Two notes:

  (1) thunderbird can manage IMAP accounts somewhat differently from pop accounts This article provides more information: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_messages_in_IMAP_accounts.

  (2) deleted messages can be retrieved using a text editor until the file is compacted. This article contains more information on the compaction: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders.
