Is there recycle bin in Android?

Unlike the Windows or Mac computers, there is no Android Recycle Bin on Android phones. The main reason is the limited storage of an Android phone. Unlike a computer, an Android phone usually has merely 32 GB – 256 GB storage, which is too small to hold a recycle bin.
