The &xwp; trash can provides a replacement to the regular Workplace Shell object deletion mechanism. For introductory information, please refer to the "Trashcan" chapter in the &xwp; User Guide.

In order to move objects into the trash can, simply drop them on it. In that respect, the trash can operates similar to a regular folder.

Note that the trash can also supports the regular WPS deletion mechanism. This can be enabled in the "&xwp; Setup" object.

If you open the trash can (it supports only the Icon and Details views), you can see all the objects that have been moved into it.

To restore a trash object, either open its context menu and select "Restore object", which will move this object back to its original location, or drag it out of the trash can into any open folder, which will restore the object in that location instead.

To permanently delete a trash object, select "Destroy object" from its context menu.

If the trash can is not empty, the trash can's context menu offers you an additional menu item called "Empty trash can", which will permanently delete all the objects which have been moved into the trash can.
