You know how sometimes you don't want to delete all your trash permanently but just a few individual projects? I think ST should totally make it so that you can permanently delete individual projects. srsly plz add this soon plz I really want it XD

Just put back whatever you don't want completely deleted, empty trash, and then delete those projects again.

Except I have a whole bunch (at least 130) in there and there's only 2 I want to really delete. XD oh well.

Support! I myself have this problem all the time.

so much want

me too!

But why would you put a project in the Trash if you didn't want it deleted? Why wouldn't you just leave it in the Unshared projects section of My Stuff?

I believe in the “My stuff” page, there is a “delete” button on the far right of each listing.

This is about when they are already in the trash. I'm with Paddle2See on this though: why would you trash something if you want to keep it?

It's like storage for me. If I have projects I unshared a long time ago, and I still like them and might want to rewatch them later in the distant future, but won't be doing ANYTHING with them for a long time, I put them in my trash.

That's not how most people use the trash, so the usefulness of the suggestion would be quite limited.
No support.
EDIT: I'm realising that others do use the trash in this way, so I support as a way to organise projects.

it's like the recycle bin on Windows. it's purpose is to hold files that you think you might delete, not what you will delete.

I use it that way, and I know that my brother Superdoggy does..

To the suggestion, support. I have so many “untitled-x” projects just because the Scratch homepage is right next to the home button and I end up mistakenly clicking it rarely, but this builds up. Therefore my trash folder is mostly untitled projects and partially things that I'm not sure if I want to keep or not, but to restore everything I'd send hundreds of things that I'd have to delete back to the trash.

Perhaps as Zro said, it can be like the recycle bin - what about if there's a restore button on each project? And a delete one on each project would be nice as well. This would help many Scratchers keep organized.

Oh, okay. I'd never heard of it being used like that before. Actually, when seen from an organisation perspective, I support.
