How to Enable the "Use Recycle Bin" Feature on Medal

The "Use Recycle Bin" feature allows you to send deleted video files to your computer's recycle bin instead of permanently deleting them. This gives you the opportunity to restore clips if you change your mind.


How do I enable the "Use Recycle Bin" feature on Medal?


  1. Open Medal and go to the settings menu.
  2. Locate the "Use Recycle Bin" option.
  3. Enable this feature.

Use Recycle Bin Setting

By turning on this setting, any video files you delete will be sent to the recycle bin instead of being permanently deleted.


Does this feature work on clips deleted before enabling it?


No, the "Use Recycle Bin" feature only works for clips deleted after you have enabled it. Clips deleted before enabling this feature will not be sent to the recycle bin.


How do I restore a deleted clip from the recycle bin?


  1. Navigate to the recycle bin on your computer.
  2. Find the deleted clip and restore it.



The restored clip will return to its original folder location on your computer. It will not automatically reappear in your Medal clip library.


How can I add a restored clip back to Medal?


After restoring the clip from the recycle bin, you need to manually upload it back to Medal.
