Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin stores files and documents before they are permanently deleted from the system. When the Recycle Bin is turned on, files and documents deleted from the system are moved to the Recycle Bin. From the Recycle Bin, files and documents can be restored or permanently deleted.

Users with the Empty File Recycle Bin right can access files deleted by themselves or other members of their group in the Recycle Bin. Users with the Empty Document Recycle Bin right can access documents deleted by themselves or other members of their group in the Recycle Bin.

You can access the Recycle Bin from the Navigation menu.
