proton drive trash

Items you have removed but not yet deleted.

Every command under proton drive trash, with the arguments and flags it takes. For these commands in use, see the drive guide.

Holds empty, list and restore.

empty

Section titled “empty”

Delete everything in the trash, permanently.

That is everything trash list shows, trashed photos included.

Terminal window
proton drive trash empty

list

Section titled “list”

List what is in the trash.

This covers everything the account has trashed, photos included. trash empty deletes all of it.

A trashed item has no path, so address it by the ID shown here. An item whose name cannot be decrypted is still listed, so you can still act on it.
