+# 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](https://forums.unraid.net/topic/41044-recycle-bin-vfs-recycle-for-smb-shares/).
+- 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:
+
+```bash
+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 `Apply` to 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.
