Error Code -36 | unable to undo delete file operation using ⌘ Z

I deleted some files, and they are available in Bin. If I try to undo the delete attempt by pressing ⌘ Z, it gives me the below errors: enter image description here

My Observations:

I found there are 2 Bins; if I open Get Info for both, the difference I see is - 1 has Kind=Folder, other has Kind=Bin.

The Bin (Folder) is available at: /Users/shripalmehta/

But Bin (Bin) has no path.

If I drag and drop a file into Bin (Folder), it appears in Bin (Bin) as well, and such file can be reverted just as normally we would (from either of the Bins). But if I press ⌘ ⌫ it goes directly into Bin (Bin) and it becomes unrecoverable!

How do I fix this? Is is some kind of Permission issue?

Edit:

  1. I'm using MacOS Big Sur 11.6 on MacBook Air M1 (2020)
  2. Added My Observations above

Solution 1:

I was dealing with this issue a while back, and one day it just fixed itself, though here is the workaround I used.


  1. Open up terminal
  2. type mv (space is important) and then drag the file from the trash into the terminal window. (It is important to drag the file, because whenever this happened to me, the file was not in ~/.trash)
  3. Type where you want the file to be moved to (e.g. to move to your downloads type ~/downloads, you can also just drag the folder from finder).

Example: mv /users/yourname/.trash/deletedfile ~/downloads
