Junk Yard · Auto-clear, pins and deleting

\n

How do I delete a single scrap from the Junk Yard?

\n

Short answer: Click Delete (the trash button) on the card or in the preview, or use the trash button or a two-finger tap on a curtain tile. Deleted scraps are gone for good, but referenced files aren't touched.

\n

Click Delete (the trash button) on the card, or in the preview. In the curtain, hover a tile and use its trash button, or two-finger tap the tile if that gesture is switched on.

\n

Deleting removes the scrap straight away and it can't be brought back — it isn't sent to the Trash. If the scrap was a file reference, only the scrap goes; the file itself stays where it is.
