# Decloner Trash

Decloner has its own virtual Trash, in addition to the system Trash you see in the Dock. The two are not related. Files you delete from the list of duplicates are gathered in Decloner Trash.

Think of Decloner Trash as a staging area to gather files to delete. By showing you the deleted files in a single list, Decloner Trash allows you to review the files before actually removing them from the system, iPhoto or Aperture libraries. You can also put files back if you changed your mind about deleting them.

## To delete files in Decloner Trash:

Select files to delete by clicking them, holding down the Command key (⌘) for multiple selection.

Click Delete button to move selected files to system Trash.

Click Delete & Link button to move selected files to system Trash and replace them with aliases (bookmarks) to the remaining file.

Click Put Back button to restore the selected files and remove them from Decloner Trash.

To make Decloner stop deleting files, click Stop button on the right of the progress indicator.

You cannot stop Decloner while it communicates with iPhoto or Aperture.

Delete & Link feature is not available for files in iPhoto or Aperture libraries. If your selection contains such files, the Delete & Link button is disabled.

Files on network volumes cannot be moved to system Trash, as there is no Trash folder on such volumes. The first time you attempt to delete them, the files that could not be trashed are displayed with a cross icon against them. Repeating the delete or delete & link operation on such files will delete them immediately without possibility to undo this action.

Files in Decloner Trash are preserved between scans and Decloner runs.
