Empty Trash

Empty Trash is a small Obsidian plugin that permanently removes every item inside the vault's .trash folder in one click.

Plugin ID: empty-trash

Why

Obsidian can move deleted files to a hidden .trash folder. This plugin adds a direct way to empty that folder at once, without deleting files one by one.

Usage

  1. Set Obsidian's deleted-file behavior to use Obsidian trash: Settings -> Files and links -> Deleted files -> Move to Obsidian trash.
  2. Run Empty Trash: Empty Obsidian trash from the command palette, or click the eraser icon in the ribbon.
  3. Confirm once to permanently delete all files and folders currently inside .trash.

Notes

  • This plugin only clears the vault-local .trash folder.
  • It does not clear the operating system trash.
  • Permanent deletion cannot be undone through Obsidian, so keep backups or sync history enabled.

Development
