  • Does macOS Big Sur's Time Machine not back up ~/.Trash?

    Does macOS Big Sur's Time Machine not back up ~/.Trash? Because I
    couldn't find it in the Time Machine's back ups since MacBook Pro's
    trash was accidently emptied.

    Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    Does any version of TimeMachine backup any Trash folders?

    It’s the Trash. Never put anything in the Trash unless you want to delete
    it.

    As far as I know, Time Machine has _never_ backed up the Trash.

    It was a rhetorical question. The answer is 'no'.

    TimeMachine doesn't backup cache files either, or quite a long list of
    other 'transient' and 'temporary' files. The files that were in the
    trash, would have been backed up from before they were placed in the
    trash.

    Also of note, the Trash is not a place to store files.
