| Nov 6, 2021 at 16:59 | comment | added | shripal mehta | Thank you for correcting me. I just upgraded from Big Sur (11.6) to Monterey (12.0.1) and the issue seems to be resolved! So, I'm assuming that it was a minor bug in one of the patches, and that it was fixed in this new release. | |

If you're going to dig around [which I still recommend you shouldn't] in Terminal you'll find it's still actually called Trash. I highly recommend you do not mess with the Trash structure unless you really know what you're doing. | |

bin is not what you're looking for. Deleted files go to Trash. There are multiple Trash locations, one for the system, one per user & one per attached volume. Don't try figure out how they map. Run Disk Utility on the volume the files were on before deletion.

I found there are 2 Bins, if I open Get Info for both, the difference I see is, 1 has Kind = Folder, other has Kind = Bin. The Bin (Folder) is available at: /Users/shripalmehta/ but Bin (Bin) has no path. If I drag and drop a file into Bin (Folder), is appears in Bin (Bin) as well, and such file can be reverted just as normally we would. But if I press ⌘⌫ it goes directly into Bin (Bin) and it becomes unrecoverable!

Error -36 is a data error. It cannot either identify, or correctly read from the original location, or have permission to write to the 'return' location. Check where the files were before delete. That the files are named by id rather than actual name, suggests it cannot correctly find them in the Bin. I'd run Repair from Disk Utility as a first step, but make sure your backup is up to date.

| Nov 4, 2021 at 8:53 | comment | added | shripal mehta | It is the very last step. Also, it doesn't allow drag and drop either! When I drag and drop the file from Bin to Desktop, the file disappears from both locations, completely unable to recover!! | |
| Nov 4, 2021 at 8:51 | comment | added | Tetsujin | What happens if you just drag them back to where they came from, or to the desktop? You can only Undo if the very last step before that was the delete. | |
