One of the more useful features coming with Android 11 is the option to bring your files back from their digital grave.
The Android 11 public beta is out and available for anyone to try – anyone with a compatible phone, that is – and we’re seeing a steady stream of new features come to light. The latest is a potentially very useful recycle bin for recovering deleted files.
As noted by 9to5Google, this trash folder has apparently been around since the developer preview launched in February, but it’s largely flown under the radar until now.
It works exactly as you think it might, in the classic Windows Recycle Bin or macOS Trash folder tradition: files and photos you delete aren’t fully deleted for a period of 30 days, giving you a window of opportunity to bring them back.
