Save deleted files to the Recycle Bin
This guide will show you how to save deleted files to the Recycle Bin on Unraid. Tested on Unraid 6.12.1
Get Started
- Begin by installing the Recycle Bin plugin.
- We now need to enable the plugin. Go to
Settings > User Utilities > Recycle Bin. - Now we can configure the plugin. I have used the following settings:
Enable Recycle Bin > Yes
Hide Recycle Bin Folder > No
Update Recycle Bin Size in Background > Yes
Enable on Unassigned Devices? > No
Recycle Bin parameters > %m/%S
Recycle Bin permission > Default
Excluded Files > Empty
Excluded Directories > This is where you can exclude directories from the Recycle Bin. For example: /mnt/user/Storage/Backups/
Excluded Shares > You can put any share name that you want to exclude. Example: Plex-Media,Backups
Age Days > 7 (This is how long the files will stay in the Recycle Bin before being deleted)
Remove Aged Files on Schedule? > Weekly
Remove Aged Files Notification? > Yes
Log Deleted Files? > No
- Click
Applyto save the settings.
Finished
The Recycle Bin is now enabled and ready to use. You can test it by deleting a file from a share and then checking the Recycle Bin folder.
