Trash (computing) - Implementations

Implementations

Recycle bin functionality is usually integrated into a desktop environment and its file manager. Examples include:

  • Mac OS and Mac OS X, with Macintosh Finder, as "Trash" (or Wastebasket in defunct localisations)
  • Microsoft Windows, with Windows Explorer, as "Recycle Bin"
  • GNOME (Linux), with Nautilus
  • KDE (Linux), with Konqueror and Dolphin
  • Xfce (Linux), with Thunar
  • Amiga, when using the WorkBench. The Professional File System added trashcan-esque behavior at the filesystem level.
  • Windows Live, with Skydrive

Some implementations may contain "shredding" functionality to counter data remanence.
