Anyways, if i send some files to trash, will it still take up disk space?

If it does, after i empty the trash, how long does it take for space to be free?

as soon as it is done being emptied.

1. Yes.

2. If you aren't using FileVault, it'll be freed immediately when the process is complete; securely emptying the Trash will take longer. If you are, you may need to log out and back in.

Trash is just a special folder, so it takes up space if something is in the Trash. It does not take up space after it has been emptied. Space is freed immediately.

welcome!
