Trash
See what's in the Trash right in the bar, put things back where they came from, and empty it when you're sure.
Open it
Type trash and press ↵ on Trash. The bar shows the Trash as a grid of icons, with the number of items above it. Type to filter by name.
The grid has two parts:
- Uninstalled with Saiki: apps and their leftovers that the Uninstaller moved to the Trash, first so you can find them quickly.
- Everything Else, newest first. When you haven't uninstalled anything, it's simply In the Trash.
Put something back
Select an item and press ↵:
- Put Back moves it back to the folder it came from. This works for anything Saiki moved to the Trash itself, with the Uninstaller or the Cleaner. A message says where it went.
- Restore to Desktop is offered instead for things you trashed elsewhere, such as in Finder, because only Finder knows where those came from. The item goes to your Desktop, with a number added to its name if the name is taken.
Saiki never puts an item back over something that's there now. If something else has taken its place, nothing is moved and a message says so.
Look and drag
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| ↵ | Put Back, or Restore to Desktop. |
| ⌘Y | Quick Look the item. |
| ⇧⌘O | Show it in Finder. |
| ⇧⌘C | Copy its path. |
| ⇧⌘⌫ | Empty Trash, after a card asks. |
All of these are also in ⌘K. You can drag any item out of the grid into Finder, Mail or any other app.
Empty the Trash
Choose Empty Trash (⇧⌘⌫, or its button in the bar's footer). A card measures the Trash and says how many items, and how much space, will be deleted for good. Press ⌘↵ to empty it, or esc to keep everything.
The Trash view never deletes a single item on its own: things leave the Trash only when you put them back, drag them out or empty it.
Also from the bar
Empty Trash and Open Trash (which opens the Trash in Finder) are also system commands you can type from anywhere. The Trash view is part of System Commands: turning off Settings → System Commands takes it out of the bar too.
