Where Deleted Worlds Go and How the Trash Interface Works

What happens when you delete a world

When you confirm deletion of a world, the mod intercepts that action and moves the world's folder to your operating system's trash/recycle bin rather than deleting it outright. From Minecraft's point of view the world disappears from your list, but the files still exist in the trash until you empty it.

Reading the custom interface

The mod adds a dedicated screen for deleting worlds. This screen clearly shows whether your system supports trash-based deletion. Use it as your source of truth:

• If it indicates support, deleted worlds will land in your trash and can be recovered.
• If it indicates no support, deletion falls back to permanent removal, so treat the delete button as final.

The interface exists so you are never guessing whether a deleted world is recoverable. Check it before deleting anything important.

Practical habits

• Before deleting a world you might want later, glance at the interface to confirm trash support.
• After deleting, verify the world folder is in your trash if you plan to rely on recovery.
• Periodically empty your trash to avoid accumulating large world folders, since worlds can be sizeable.

This keeps your saves folder tidy while preserving the safety net the mod provides.
