# recycleOperation

Move file to trash.

## Declaration

```swift
static let recycleOperation: NSWorkspace.FileOperationName
```

## Discussion

Discussion The file is moved to the trash folder on the volume containing the file using the same semantics as moveOperation. If a file with the same name currently exists in the trash folder, the new file is renamed. If no trash folder exists on the volume containing the file, the operation fails.
