TOPIC

    This article is about the Trash in Mac OS X Public Beta.


DISCUSSION

    As in previous versions of the Mac OS, you drag items to the Trash to delete them. However, some changes have been made in Mac OS X Public Beta to better accommodate its multi-user nature. All users have a separate, invisible Trash folder that is in their home folder. Items in the Trash of one user are not in the Trash of another user.

    Deleting files and folders


      1. Drag an item's icon to the Trash (in the Dock instead of on the desktop).

      2. Choose Empty Trash from the Special menu.


    If you change your mind about deleting the item before you choose Empty Trash:

      1. Click the Trash icon in the dock.

      2. Drag the item out of the Trash.
