I appreciate the feedback @aclemence - the back end is exactly how I went about this task once I found the trash folder.
I understand the motivation of this is a little strange but I had a lot of files in the Trash from many different locations that, if restored, would be scattered to the wind for me to find again. Since the “Trash Bin” doesn’t have a preview functionality, this was the only way I could think to review them before deleting permanently.
