Using the Recycle Bin
The Recycle Bin is a temporary holding place for all project folders and files
that have been deleted from your project. After you've moved items to the
Recycle Bin, click the Recycle Bin icon, and the list of files you've identified
to be deleted appears in a list in the details view (to the right of the shortcut
bar).
NOTE If the list is empty, it means that you haven't chosen the Move to Recycle
Bin option (right-click the selected file in the tree view) or that you chose to delete
a file permanently directly from the tree view instead of moving it to the Recycle
Bin.
You can still work with any of the items in the Recycle Bin list all you need

list to view specific file, discussion, or version information.

■ To view the contents of the file, click the View tab beneath the Recycle
Bin list.
■ To view discussions, click the Discussions tab beneath the Recycle Bin list
and then choose the discussion you want from the Discussions list.
■ To view a different version, click the Versions tab beneath the Recycle Bin
list and then choose the version you want from the Versions list.
