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.
Extra
This wont work for files deleted via the cli or the Unraid webui. This will only work for files deleted over smb/samba.
