Hi, i accidentally deleted an entire project of hundreds of photos of a trip, and my aperture only shows my project, not the trash like i saw on the screenshots of other peoples aperture sidebar. I would like to find the trash so i can recover my picture, would you know how i can find it? thank you

Alix,
What is your Aperture version and your MAcOS X version? Do you have Aperture 3.4.x? You may have hidden your "Recent" section.
Hover the mouse to the right of the "Recent" heading in the sidebar. There is a hidden "Show/Hide" button. Press "Show". Then the Trash and other recent items should appear.
But if the problem is, that you are seeing other recent items like "Last 12 Month", but only the Trash is missing, then your Aperture Preferences file might be corrupted. Then remove the preferences as described in this support article:

Thank you!! but the thing is i actually dont have a recent section, thats the weird thing and i dont know how to find it.
The only thing ther is in the sidebar is the photo library and my projects..
What is your Aperture version?
I have aperture 2.1.4.
Alix,
I don't have Aperture 2, but I looked at the User Manual Aperture 2 User Manual - Support - Apple.
The Aperture 2 window is quite different from the Aperture 3 window.
There seems to be no Trash in Aperture 2. The masters will be moved directly to your system trash on your Desktop, when you delete the images.
Retrieve the image files from there to a folder on your Desktop and restore them to your Aperture library by reimporting.

Thank you! but the pictures dont go in the desktop trash -........-
but the pictures dont go in the desktop trash
That is what they should do according to the manual 😕
Best post your question again with "Aperture 2" in the title. This way those of us, who still can test with Aperture 2, will see your question and be able to help. You could link to this thread, so you do not have to explain all again.
i can't find the aperture trash
