About the Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin allows you to view folders and files that have been deleted from

a project.

When you click the Recycle Bin icon, a list appears in the details view to the

right of the shortcut bar. You can still work with any of the items in the list all

you need to do is select the folder or file you want and then use the tabbed

views beneath the list to view specific file, discussion, or version information.

By default, all users can empty the Recycle Bin (thus permanently deleting files

from the site) of items that they own or have edit permissions to. Site

Administrators can restrict who can empty the Recycle Bin. If the default is

changed so that only Administrators can empty the Recycle Bin, then project

members can only "soft" delete files. That is, deleting a file sends it to the Recycle

Bin. It can then be recovered from the Recycle Bin unless an Administrator

permanently deletes it. To change who can empty the Recycle Bin, click the

Site Administration icon, and then click the General tab.

When a locked file is put in the recycle bin, the lock is removed. If a file that

was previously locked file is restored from the recycle bin to a project, the file

is restored as unlocked.

NOTE If you permanently delete items and then want them back, you can recover

them — as long as you do so within 30 days from the day the original item is deleted.

You must have Site or Project Administrator permission to recover permanently

deleted items. For more information, see

Recovering a Folder (page 162).
