What is the Recycle Vault, Storage Studio's recoverable trash?
Short answer: It's Storage Studio's own recoverable trash: whatever the app removes for you — duplicates, clear-ups, uninstalled apps — goes there instead of being deleted, recoverable for about 6 months.
The Recycle Vault is Storage Studio's own recoverable trash. Everything the app removes for you — clearing duplicates, freeing up space, uninstalling an app — goes there instead of being deleted, so you can bring it back.
It's separate from your Mac's Trash, and separate from Restore Points, which undo moves rather than recover removed files. Items are kept for about 6 months, then cleared automatically. Open it from More ••• → Recycle Vault, or ask Tuhi. Full detail: Recycle Vault manual.
