One function that millions of Android users miss is having a recycle bin on their phones. A place where you can control the files that you have deleted, in addition to easily recovering or restoring those files that you deleted by mistake, something that happens in the usual way.

Although it does not come natively on computers, there are more and more options.

There are several ways, mainly using applications, which allow you to have a recycle bin in Android. Many users want this option, so we show you the ways that exist to make this happen on your phone.

Although it is not a recycle bin as such, some layers of customization on Android allow you to see a deleted folder in some cases. For example, in EMUI there is a folder called Recently Deleted, where you can see the photos that have been deleted on the phone and you can recover them for a period of 30 days, before they are permanently deleted from the phone. It is an option similar to the recycle bin.

Samsung also has a recycle bin available on some of its phones, both in its previous personalization layer and in One UI that is a reality, although it is limited to the phone gallery. It is accessed as follows:

• Open the gallery application on the phone.
• Click on the three vertical points.
• Enter settings
• Click on recycle bin.

These options that are usually limited to photos and videos on the phone, so at least it covers a key utility on the phone. Although many users on Android want to have a real trash can, in which to recover deleted files, without being only photos or videos.

Android recycle bin applications

As in many cases we do not find a bin in a native way, at least not one that is not limited to the gallery, we have to resort to Android applications. In the Play Store there are a lot of applications that allow you to have a recycle bin in a phone. Some of them stand out for their smooth operation and ease of use.

DUMPSTER

Dumpster is the best known application on Android when it comes to having a recycle bin. Its purpose is very simple and clear, it ensures that the phone will have such a bin. Thanks to this, it will be possible to see all the files, whatever they are, that we have deleted on the phone, in addition to restoring them in case something was deleted by mistake.

One of the aspects that help make Dumpster a very popular option is that it is an easy to use application. It has a really intuitive interface, with simple and clear controls for users. In addition, it is compatible with file managers, so that there is the possibility of having a more accurate and convenient file management.

Everything we send to the trash can be restored, but also permanently removed. Dumpster is an application that we can download for free on Android. It has a free version with ads, and there is a paid one, but to use it as a normal trash can on Android, the free one is more than enough.

RECYCLE BIN

Another very popular application, has been in the Play Store for several years now, available for Android and works in the same way as the computer recycle bin, which is something that has clearly contributed to keeping it among the most downloaded in this field.

As in this bin, all the files we delete will go to it. The controls in the application are really simple, an important aspect, although its interface is not the best.
