Q: Cannot find 'Recently Deleted' album (Photos on Mac)
I need to clear space on my hard drive, so I want to delete photos from the Photos app. However I cannot find the 'Recently Deleted' album. There is no 'show recently deleted' option in the File menu. When I delete photos I press command + delete, so I believe this should be deleting the photos from the library, not just an album, but when I delete them, no 'Recently Deleted' album shows up. I have scoured the forums and cannot seem to find an answer. I have noticed in the View menu there is a 'Hide Hidden Photo Album' option. Not sure what this is for. I toggled it to 'Show Hidden Photo Album' and back again, but it doesn't appear to help. I am running Photos version 1.5 on OS 10.11.6. Any help would be much appreciated!
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
