Does it use extra disk space?
No more than the file already used. Moving something into trash is a rename within the same server, not a copy - the file still counts against the same server disk quota until it's purged for good.
Does it slow down deleting files?
Not noticeably. Renaming a file within the same disk is essentially instant, whether it's a single file or a whole folder with thousands of files in it (the folder is renamed as a unit, not copied item by item).
Can a server user empty the trash to cover their tracks?
Yes, if they have permission to - same as they can already delete any other file on the server today. PawTrash gives a second chance against mistakes, it isn't an audit trail or an access-control system.
What happens if I uninstall the addon?
The trash folder and its contents stay on the server exactly as they were. Once you're back on stock Wings, those files are just a regular folder again, visible and editable from the File Manager. Nothing gets deleted automatically on uninstall.
Does it work alongside backups?
Yes, with no relationship between the two systems - Pterodactyl backups keep working exactly as before, including whatever happens to be inside trash at backup time.
Can I exclude individual servers instead of whole nodes?
Not in this version - the Enabled/Disabled switch is per node, and applies to every server running on it.
