Recycle Bin

Recycle Bin settings give your deletes a safety net: when the behavior is enabled, they control where Scryer places managed files before final deletion.

  • To access: Settings → Recycle Bin
  • To view: Requires manageSystemSettings app permission

If you’re about to run large rename or cleanup work, enable the recycle bin here first — it gives you a recovery path if files end up in the wrong place before you catch it.

If the recycle bin path is filling up unexpectedly, review retention settings here and confirm the path is on a volume with enough capacity to cover your intended safety window.

Here you enable or disable recycle bin behavior where surfaced, configure the recycle bin path, and review retention or cleanup behavior where supported. Make sure the path is writable and large enough for the safety window you intend.

Enable the recycle bin before large rename or cleanup work, review retention after storage pressure changes, and confirm path permissions after moving the recycle bin folder.

  • Library Layout — recommended path layout; the recycle bin path should be on the same volume as managed library roots
  • Post-processing — cleanup steps that run after import; recycle bin is the safety net for file removal during that chain
  • System Jobs — background jobs that perform library maintenance; recycle bin retention controls what those jobs can remove
