## Discussion

Discussion Below is a simplified example of a view that supports copy, move and delete operations for drag. Drag to delete into trash bin If a view wants to support drag-to-delete into the trash bin or another location that has similar semantics, it should specify the support for this operation in a drag configuration:         @State private var photos: [Photo] = []         @State private var selectedPhotos: [Photo.ID] = []

var body: some View {             ScrollView {                 LazyVGrid(columns: gridColumns) {                     ForEach(photos) { photo in                         PhotoView(photo: photo)                             .draggable(containerItemID: photo.id)                     }                 }             }             .dragContainer(for: Photo.self) { draggedIDs in                 photos(ids: draggedIDs)             }             .dragContainerSelection(selectedPhotos)             .dragConfiguration(DragConfiguration(allowMove: false, allowDelete: true))             .onDragSessionUpdated { session in                 if session.phase == .ended(.delete) {                     let ids = session.draggedItemIDs(for: Photo.ID.self)                     removeAndTrash(ids)                 }             }             .dragPreviewsFormation(.stack)         }

func removeAndTrash(_ ids: [Photo.ID]) {             ids.forEach { id                 if let idx = photos.firstIndex(where: { $0.id == id }) {                     let photo = photos[idx]                     photos.remove(at: idx)                     try? FileManager.default.trashItem(                         at: photo.fileURL, resultingItemURL: nil                     )                 }             }         }     } Note, that any drag supports copy operation by default. In the snippet above, the view supports both copy and delete operations.
