When I remove a downloaded song or album from iTunes on my iMac, why does it not appear in the trash? I was trying to free up some space on my iMac and thought removing the downloads would do that but I’m wondering as I don’t see anything show up in the trash.
If you have an Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription then I believe when you use the right-click > remove download option the items in question are immediately removed from the computer without being sent to the trash. They remain available to you via a cloud link. When you delete tracks from the library you may get a prompt about deleting the files, and if those are deleted they should go to the trash.

Hmmm... that's interesting. I'll just have to watch my storage space and see if it increases. Thanks for the reply. I'll let you know if that works!
