How do I empty my trash bin?

If I understand correctly, you would like to empty the recycle bin (trash) in gmail.
1- in your inbox, click on Trash (or More with the small down arrow to show it). You can also write in:trash in the search box.
2-click on Empty Trash now on the top of the email list
that's it!
Btw, messages that have been in Trash more than 30 days will be automatically deleted, so it's not so useful to delete them manually!

Hey there. Files placed in the trash bin are stored there forever until you actually delete them from the trash bin. You can do this by right clicking the trash bin and clicking the empty trash bin button.

I hope I was able to assist. If I was, please don't forget to rate this solution.

Hi,

Unfortunately, anything deleted from the system goes to Recycle Bin, and everything on the Recycle Bin can be "Restored". However, if you deleted it from Recycle Bin (Emptied Recycle Bin) those files can no longer be retrieved. It is like a permanent deletion of files.

Right-click on the trash folder and choose "empty trash."

Normally, an external HD's trash is part of the PCs trash bin. By emptying the PC trash you also empty anything in the external HD trash.

1. If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.
2. "Time machine" is a built-in backup tool that works with your Mac and an external drive, As the problem you described, I read it. The files deleted in Trash bin could be a different problem which Time machine can't solve. you can read this article and learn more. I hope it will help.
3. If you don't have a Time Machine backup yet, then your best option would probably be uFlysoft Data Recovery for mac software

Hello sir !

Empty Trash Can

In 1982, when Apple created the Apple Lisa user interface, they implemented what they called the Trash Can. The trash can is essentially purgatory for files a user no longer wants. Once sent to the trash, the user has the option of restoring the file back to its original place, or annihilating it completely from the computer’s hard drive. Unless there is a backup of a user’s system from before the file was sent to the trash, there is essentially no way of restoring that file once the trash has been emptied.
This metaphor was carried over to Windows 95 in the form of a Recycle Bin. Perched on the desktop of countless millions of averages users was this bin which, when empty, looked empty, and when it contained files, looked full.
There is safety in the Trash Can metaphor. I know that in order to really delete a file from my system, either on Windows or on Mac OS X, I really have to work at it. Yes, there are times when files are accidentally deleted, but for the most part if I realize my mistake before I empty my Trash, I know the file is safe.

Probably you just deleted it into oblivion. On floppy disks in Windows, if you delete something, it's really gone - there's usually no trash can on a floppy disk. Probably it works the same on a CF card, which is also regarded as a kind of removable disk by Windows. Or was the file already on your hard disk?
