When you delete a photo, video or document from Android it is not completely deleted, still available in the recycle bin. Although this permanence is for a limited time (30 days), you may want to reverse the deletion and get the file again during that time. If so, here we will tell you how to locate this folder on the device.
Where is the trash to recover files on Android
During the process of debugging files on Android, you must have deleted many photos, videos and documents. If you think that they have been completely removed from the device, let me tell you that it is not so, These go to a folder called “trash”.
Inside it is everything you have deleted, only that their stay there is 30 days. After this time, it is automatically deleted. Being there, it takes up space on the disk, but if you want to know where this folder is hidden, either to recover a file or delete them all at once, this is the path you should follow:
- Open the app of the “gallery".
- Press the three dots located in the upper right corner of the screen.
- Choose "Recycle Bin".
- Enter the folder and you will see all the deleted files in order from most recent to oldest.
- Each file will have the time remaining until it is automatically deleted at the bottom.
- Select the one you want to recover and in the three dots located in the upper right corner you will see the option “revert file".
- It will be placed back in the gallery for later access.
Each program can have its own recycle bin, as it does Google Photos or Google Drive. If you delete something from these apps you won't be able to recover it from the Android trash, you'll have to go into their own recycle bins and undo the deletion. Please share this information and help other users find this route on their computer.
