![]() During my test I kept two finder windows open, the Documents folder and the Trash folder (the trash bin to the right on everyone’s dock) along with EF. It saw happen 3 times yesterday to 3 different subfolders. Unless there’s something weird going on on your Mac, EagleFiler never puts anything in the Finder trash and never actually deletes anything without prompting you. Please post a screenshot showing what you mean by “Finder Trash.” I think that EagleFiler is actually moving the folder to the EagleFiler trash in the Finder. I don’t think EF should be allowed to delete an actual folder or file from the Finder, at least not without a warning or prompt. Step 8: Empty EF trash sub folder is deleted from EF trash but not from Finder. Sub folder is moved to EF trash actual sub folder remains in original Finder position. Step 6: UNDO move to EF trash sub folder is restored in EF. Actual folder is still in original position. Step 5: Sub folder is moved to the EF trash but not to the Finder Trash. Step 4: Click on Documents folder in side bar and repeat step one using upper right section of EF. Sub folder is restored to the Documents folder in EF and to the original Finder location from the Trash. ![]() Step 3: Reverse action within EF using the Edit menu with UNDO. However, original sub folder in finder is also moved to Finder Trash! Step 2: Action in step one caused folder in EF to move to EF trash. Step 1: Delete sub folder in imported Documents folder in the EF side bar Michael, I’ve re-tested the delete behavior in EF using the following steps and believe that the EF delete behavior is inconsistent and can be rather dangerous: I don’t think EagleFiler ever uses the Finder’s trash. The folder will actually be deleted when you empty EagleFiler’s trash. EagleFiler will move the folder to its trash. You should always delete from within EagleFiler (not the Finder). Would you please clarify how I should remove them from EF and what the behavior of deleting imported folders (or files) is? When we delete something from within EF are we actually deleting the folder/file? I want remove a sub folder of Documents from displaying in EF. When I delete a folder in EF it moves to the EF trash folder (as it did the other times) and is removed from the original location, but it does not show up in the finder Trash. I am now seeing a 3rd different behavior. When I deleted a couple other folders the originals did not move but it seems a duplicate was placed in the finder Trash. When I deleted some of these in EF I could see them in the Finder window being moved from the original location to the finder Trash. Subfolders that I did not want in EF (which contain nothing that can be read by EF - a hidden folder, for instance ) were also imported. I have seen a few different behaviors when deleting a folder recently imported in EF.
