Does the TRASH folder go into Time Machine?

So i've been able to backup time machine the first few times, but after that it says "the backup is too large for the backup volume". I have one folder "excluded" where i add and delete very large files (sometimes up to GBs).
I'm wondering if i delete these huge files and they go to the TRASH and then I immediately empty the trash...Do they get included into my time machine backup? Could that be what maybe causing the large size error? If so, where is the trash folder so that i can exclude it? Thanks.

Above was good tip. This is contents for my Macbook's StdExclusions.plist, and .Trashes is in there.

  • Is the Sites folder included in Time Machine backups?

    I've learned the hard way that not everything is included in a Time Machine backup.  For example, if you have iPhoto open, a backup will not be made of the photos.  Now that I'm developing websites and storing them in the Sites folder, is it safe to assume that they are being backed up by Time Machine?
    Thanks!

    Are documents in iCloud Drive included in Time machine backups
    Yes, they are, and the current Yosemite version 10.10.2 makes it easy to find them in Time Machine. Just select iCloud Drive in the Finder, before you enter Time Machine to restore documents.  Time Machine backs up the local shadow copies of your iCloud Drive documents, that are stored in your hidden user library.

  • How do I open the Libraries folder on a Time Machine backup?

    I would like to access, using the Finder, the Libraries folder of one of my Time Machine backups. Surprisingly, it's hidden there too, although I can see it using Terminal. I have tried some of the standard methods used to show the regular Libraries folder, including typing in the full path into the "Go" menu, but none has worked so far. Any ideas?

    Although I searched Apple Discussion before posting, I wasn't sure what search terms to use. But a later Google search showed me an Apple Discussions link that worked perfectly:

  • Does the last updated backup in Time Machine have all my files for "standard" file copy? (i want to copy and paste files to another computer that doesn't have TM)

    My personal Macbook pro died, but I did have a Time Machine backup. I have a new iMac that I would like to use as a family computer. I would like to transfer some files to the new computer (and set-up a new Time Machine backup), but archive the remainder on a non-TM drive. I was planning to:
    1. File copy my last backup folder from my old TM drive to the new computer
    2. Copy (and then delete) the files I want to archive on another HD drive
    3. Wipe clean my current TM drive
    4. Set-up TM on my new computer
    Is this a good way to proceed?
    Is copying the last backup folder (vs. all backup folders) enough to move my files over?
    Any better approaches appreciated!

    I suggest you visit MicroCenter and go to there Apple section and ask one of there guys if they are still offering the 2 terabyte Backup For the iMac, Mine was only $100.00.
    So the iMac has Time machine plus the USB 2 Terabyte Backup for less than your $130.00

    IOU is operating system for iPhone, iPad not MBP. Is Pages the only issue you are having? What version of Pages are you using? Post in the Pages forum where those experts are.

  • Does time machine work with the trash folder?

    Does time machine work with the trash folder? So if I have the entire aperture library backed up to the time machine. Is it safe to empty the trash folder in aperture? I am able to recover files from time machine later?

    So make a top-level Project called "_Circular File".  Put Images in there that you what to have out of your way but not discarded.
    It really is good and proper to treat the Trash as trash.  I instruct everyone to _empty_ the Aperture Trash at the end of _every_ session.  The reason is this: it is the only time you will remember whether it is safe to delete the items in there.  If you wait, you will then waste time trying to answer "Did I really mean to throw that out?" or, periodically, you'll give up trying to remember, and will empty the Trash without reviewing it.  At the end of every session, examine the Trash, confirm that the items there are trash, and empty it.
    Shocking, perhaps, but you should also empty your system trash every day.  The real-life equivalents are good guides here.  No-one in an office hoards their trash.  If you mean to throw something out, throw it out.  If you don't mean to throw it out, do not put it in the trash.
    I don't know how TM handles the Aperture Trash.  I do know, however, that I would not expect this behavior to remain consistent, and would absolutely recommend against a workflow based on it.

    No, they are all just fine.

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

  • My deleted files do not go into the Trash Folder

    Deleted emails do not go into the Trash Folder even though my configurations are correct and I have selected Trash Folder for my deleted files. Is something wrong with TB? This just started happening recently.
    Also the auto-fill is not working correctly. When I start to type an email addr in Compose, non-related email addrs appear. I know that TB uses the 'within' range as opposed to 'starts with' but that still does not explain my problem. If I enter 'h' into the To: field, email addresses that do not contain the letter h anywhere (first name, last name, email addr, etc.) appear.
    Please help.

  • Deleted a message from Mail does not move it to the trash folder

    I am a brand new mac user, so it's possible I just don't know what I am doing yet.
    I have added my IMAP email account to Mail with the following mailbox behavior:
    When I delete a message from my Inbox, in Mail it appears to move to the Trash folder.  However, if I log into the webmail interface I can see it actually still exists in the Inbox, but has been marked as deleted (there is a line through it).  It is not actually moving the message on the server into a trash folder, like iPad does.  If I pull up the Trash folder on my iPad, it does automagically reflect the item I deleted.  However, on my phone (not an iPhone), the messages are missing from the Trash folder.
    How do I configure Mail on my Mac to behave like Mail on the iPad?  When I delete a message, I want it to move the message into the Trash folder on the server.
    Thank you very much,
    Jesse

    I figured it out.  Mail created a new folder called, "Deleted Messages."  I was looking in "Deleted Items," which was an old folder.

  • Yosemite install deleted files from Time Machine!!  Yosemite installation deleted a printer application.  Went into Time Machine to restore the printer app and it was gone!  Now I wonder what else is gone.

    Installed Yosemite on iMac desktop.  Made sure I backed up and disconnected external hard drive.  Yosemite deleted a printer/scanner application.  Went into Time Machine to restore it and it was gone.  When external hd was remounted Yosemite went into it, probably to index, and deleted the application from all backups.  Wonder what else is missing??    Besides being unbelievably SLOW now I have to see what else has been lost.  

    Can you simply navigate to your Time Machine backup with the Finder? Treat it like an external hardrive and just look for your old Applications folder. /Applications/
    Also, quite a few apps put config and support files in ~/Library/Application\ Support/
    So you may be able to get the files from there as well.

  • How can I increase the time deleted emails stay in the trash folder?

    Sometimes I find that I need to refer back to an email that was deleted. Right now the emails are dumped from the trash folder very quickly. I would like to let the deleted emails stay in the trash folder for a much longer period of time.

    Is this on Comcast email? Another email site?
    Usually this is set in the options for the site, and not in Firefox itself.
    If you are retrieving mail into the Thunderbird email program, there actually is a different support forum for Thunderbird here: https://support.mozillamessaging.com/home

  • If you delete a large file from the mac hard drive does it also remove it from time machine on external hard drive

    if you delete a large file from the mac hard drive does it also delete it from time machine on the external hard drive ?

    As the others say, no, the backup copy won't be deleted immediately, but it will eventually.
    If you want to delete all backups of a selected item, such as for space or security reasons, see #12 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
