Better Trash is a small menu bar utility for Mac from Fireebok Studio that gives you more control over the Trash than macOS provides on its own. If you have ever had a file refuse to leave the Trash because it was supposedly in use, or you simply want the Trash to clear itself on a schedule, this is the kind of tool designed for that job. It sits quietly in the menu bar and puts its main actions one click away.

Key Features

  • Force empty the Trash when stubborn or locked files will not delete normally
  • Securely delete files and folders by overwriting them before removal
  • Automatically empty the Trash on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule you choose
  • View where trashed items came from and review your empty Trash history
  • Trash delete protection to help prevent accidental permanent deletion

FAQs

Does Better Trash delete files permanently?

Emptying the Trash removes files permanently, and its secure delete option overwrites data before removal, so use those actions carefully and check the Trash contents first.

Is Better Trash a free app?

The developer offers the app through its own website. Check the official page for the current pricing and any trial options, as these can change over time.
