About TRASH_DATABASE files

The .trash_database file is an internal system file created by the Android OS, specifically within the Files by Google app. It functions as a tracking registry for items moved to the device trash bin. Under the hood, this is a standard SQLite database. It can be opened and inspected using database management tools like DB Browser for SQLite. Users typically encounter this file when recovering deleted data or performing digital forensics. The main disadvantage is that it is a raw database file, meaning it is not human-readable without specialized database software. It does not contain the actual deleted files, only the metadata pointing to them. To analyze the contents easily, the best conversion targets are CSV or SQL. Converting to CSV allows the data to be read in any spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel. Because this is a backend system file, standard document converters fail to process it. Just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view the internal structure, and convert the readable SQLite tables to common formats when possible.

Convert.Guru analyzes your TRASH_DATABASE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted DESKTOP, WT and SAV files.
