Trash and Undo

Poof! can move photo files to your Mac's Trash when you ask. It never empties the Trash and never deletes anything for good, so you can always restore.

Moving files to the Trash works on a Mac for now. On Windows, Poof! cannot move photos to the Recycle Bin yet.

Delete one photo

Each photo on an item's Photos tab has a small trash button in its corner. One click moves that photo's files (the original, any edited copy and its companion files) to your Mac's Trash. A line appears, for example "Moved 3 files for IMG_0001 to Trash", with Undo. Undo puts every file back in one step and never overwrites a file that is already there.

If something about the photo's files has changed since Poof! last looked, the button shows you the files first instead of moving them straight away.

Delete several photos

Select photos and press Delete selected… in the selection bar, or use Move to Trash… in the Photo inbox or a photo's menu. Poof! lists every file first. Only the files ticked in that list move. Press Move … to confirm.

Restore from the Trash page

Trash in the side pane lists every file moved through Poof!. Press Restore to put a file back in its original folder, as long as it is still in your Mac's Trash.

Not the same as deleting

• Marking a photo Not used keeps it in Poof!; it is only left out of the listing.
• Deleting an item (Delete item…) hides the item but keeps its photos and saved work. It can be restored from Home's deleted items.
• Skipping or leaving a photo in the inbox never deletes it.

Once you empty your Mac's Trash yourself, files in it are gone for good. Poof! never does that.
