While deleting photos, I noticed under Library..Projects, Photos, Places...my Trash is no longer listed. I can't view what's there. I can still empty trash. I have OS X Mavericks and the latest update of Aperture. Any ideas?
Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Hi 1bluestar,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Take a look at the article below. Deleting the user preferences should bring back the Aperture Trash in your sidebar.

Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Aperture back to its original settings. This will not impact your image files or your library. To reset your Aperture user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
- Quit Aperture.
- In the Finder choose Go to folder from the Go menu.
- Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
- Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
- Restart your computer if you're using OS X Mavericks.
Note: The locations of your Aperture libraries are stored in the preference file listed above. If you have stored your library outside the default location of ~/Pictures/Aperture Library, make a note of where the library is before deleting the Aperture preferences file. If you have more than one library, you can bring up a dialog to choose which one to load by pressing Option immediately after you open Aperture.
Cheers,

Starting in Apertute 3.5 (or there abouts) the sections in the Library tab can be shown or hidden.
If you hover the pointer over the Recent heading, Show will appear, click it.
Thank you, Frank! I did see an earlier posting regarding the 'Trash' disappearance shortly after my post. It was the same recommendation as yours.
Again, thank you, Frank. You're always so helpful! And it's appreciated!
Thank you, Judy, I appreciate your expertise with my problem. It was solved with an easy 'hover' of the pointer over the Recent heading shortly after posting the problem.
Glad you got it sorted out
regards
It appears that my 'Aperture Trash' under 'Library' has disappeared. Any ideas"
