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.
