What is TRASHINFO file?
The TRASHINFO file has been categorized as Misc Files. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Trash Storage Metadata appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open TRASHINFO file?
An often recurring problem with Trash Storage Metadata is that TRASHINFO is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TRASHINFO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TRASHINFO file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Linux operating systems
In this case, you should first verify that the Linux operating systems application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Linux operating systems into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TRASHINFO files.
Programs to open TRASHINFO file
Remember to download programs supporting TRASHINFO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Linux operating systems with TRASHINFO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TRASHINFO file still does not use the Linux operating systems program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TRASHINFO file with the Linux operating systems program.
Step 3. Update Linux operating systems to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Linux operating systems program with the Trash Storage Metadata file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Various Linux developers website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TRASHINFO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TRASHINFO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TRASHINFO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TRASHINFO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TRASHINFO files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TRASHINFO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TRASHINFO files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move TRASHINFO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TRASHINFO to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
