Where is the Recycle Bin on a Mac?
On Windows PCs one way to delete a file is to move it to the Recycle Bin. On the Mac this is called the Trash and it works the same way as the Recycle Bin on Windows. (Actually, to be chronologically correct, Windows works the same way as the Mac!)
Activity 1: Deleting a file Using the Mouse
1) Create or copy a file icon you can work with for this activity.
2) Using the mouse, move the point of the arrow within the picture part of an icon.
3) Press and drag the icon of the document over the icon of the Trash and then release the mouse button: the icon of the document will go into the Trash.
Here is what the Trash icon on the Macintosh looks like.
You can "undelete" a document in the trash by double-clicking
on the trash can icon, and choosing the relevant file, and pulling down
the Put Away menu item. The file will return to its original location.
Like Windows, undeleted documents remain in the Recycle Bin (called "Trash"
on the Mac)
until it is actually emptied.
