Trash

Deleted files, folders and notes go to the Trash first, where they stay for the instance's retention period (30 days by default). Each item shows when it will be deleted forever.

• Restore brings an item back. A restored folder brings back what was deleted with it, and an item whose folder is still in the trash goes to the top level.
• Delete forever removes the selected items, and Empty trash removes everything. This cannot be undone.
• The tabs Files, Folders and Notes separate the kinds of items.
• Right after a delete, Undo in the notification restores it.
• To skip the trash, choose Delete forever in the delete confirmation.

Items in the trash still count toward your storage limit. Short links are deleted right away and never go to the trash. Expired files and files that reach their view limit are deleted for good, without the trash.

Admins set the retention period; see Trash and retention.
