# How do I clear the whole Junk Yard at once?

Use **Clear all Junk** — the trash button in the Junk Yard header, or the button of the same name in Settings → Junk Yard. Because it removes every scrap at once, including the ones you pinned, it asks you to type **Delete** to confirm, and then **Delete every scrap** finishes the job.

Cleared scraps aren't sent to the Trash or the Recycle Vault, so they can't be restored. Files that cards pointed at are not touched.
