The "trash-restore" command is used to restore files that have been moved to the trash or recycle bin on a computer system. When files are deleted, they are often moved to a designated trash or recycle bin folder, where they can be restored if needed.

The "trash-restore" command is specific to certain operating systems or file managers, such as macOS and Linux. It allows users to easily recover deleted files and move them back to their original location within the file system.

When you run the "trash-restore" command, it typically opens the trash or recycle bin folder, displaying a list of all the files that have been recently deleted or moved there. You can then select the files you want to restore and choose the option to restore them. The files will be moved back to their original location, making them accessible again as if they were never deleted.

This command provides a user-friendly and convenient way to retrieve accidentally deleted files without resorting to more complex methods of data recovery.
