Does Plesk have a Recycle Bin in File Manager?

Answer

The Recycle Bin functionality in the File Manager is turned on by default for all Plesk installations starting Plesk 18.0.38.
The Recycle Bin has been implemented in Plesk 18.0.34 and is turned off by default on versions prior to 18.0.38. In order to turn it on follow these steps:

  1. Log into Plesk

  2. Install the Panel.ini Editor extension as described here: How to manage Plesk extensions (install, disable, remove, update)

  3. Go to Extensions > Panel.ini Editor > Editor tab and add the following lines:

    [fileManager]
    trash.enabled = true
    trash.folder = .trash ; the name of the the Recycle Bin folder
