Have you ever deleted photos, videos, or important files by mistake? Don’t worry! There is a Trash (or Recycle Bin) feature built into most Android devices. You can get back your deleted files there in a certain period of time.

This post will walk you step-by-step through how to do Android Trash recovery, helping you easily retrieve deleted files on Android.

Part 1: Does Android Have a Single Trash Can Like a Computer

As we all know, deleted files on Windows/Mac will be moved to a single Trash (or Recycle Bin), where users can easily find, restore, or permanently delete them later. Therefore, many users will have such a question - Where is the Trash Can on my Android? Will all deleted files go into the same Recycle Bin on Android?

Not that case. Android works quite differently.

Android does not have a unified Recycle Bin. Instead, every app, such as Gallery, File Manager, and Google Drive, has its own trash within the app. This article will show you how to find and retrieve Trash on Android.
