Trash


The Trash collects items that have been removed from the Repository and marked for deletion, but which have not yet been permanently erased. It provides a space to review and restore recently deleted items.

By default, items in the Trash are retained for 30 days. A different retention period can be set in the Settings under the Team Customization tab, with some packages.

Access to the Trash requires at least one of the "Folders->Delete" or "Files->Delete" permission flags.
To access the Trash
  1. Click on the Trash Trash button from the Left Hand Side Panel

Trashed Items List

The list of items in the Trash is displayed using the same tabular interface as the Repository. The same table columns and sort order are also applied.

  • Instead of a Location column there is an Original Location, which indicates which folder contained the item before it was moved to the Trash
    • Hover over the Original Location value to see the full path
  • To change the view, sort order, or available columns, follow the same procedures as other folders
A banner is displayed above the list of items indicating the current retention period set for items in the Trash.

The items displayed in the Trash are limited to those deleted from the current viewer's Accessible Content.
