15.21. Working with Items in the Trash Folder

The Trash folder automatically stores deleted files and folders until you permanently remove them. When you empty the contents of the Trash folder, the file or folders within it are permanently deleted from LincDoc. This folder's behavior is similar to the Recycle Bin on Windows operating systems.

Removing an Item from the Trash Folder

You can remove items from the Trash folder, which permanently deletes them.

Important: Special care should be taken when removing items from the Trash folder, since, once removed, they cannot be recovered.

  1. On the left side of the Browse dialog box, click the Trash folder to select it.
    The contents of the folder appear on the right side of the dialog box.
  2. Perform one of the following actions:
      • To remove all of the files in the Trash folder: Click the empty trash button at the top of the dialog box, or right-click the Trash folder on the left side of the dialog box and select empty trash from the menu that appears.
      • To remove a specific file: Select a file on the right side of the dialog box, and click the purge button at the top of the dialog box, or right-click the file and select purge from the menu that appears.
      • To remove multiple, specific files: Select the files on the right side of the dialog box, and click the purge button at the top of the dialog box, or right-click the file and select purge from the menu that appears.
  3. Click Yes to verify the removal.
    The selected files are permanently removed from LincDoc.
  4. Click OK.

Restoring an Item

You can also return an item in the Trash folder to its original location using the restore option.

  1. On the left side of the Browse dialog box, click the Trash folder to select it.
    The contents of the folder appear on the right side of the dialog box.
  2. On the right side of the dialog box, locate the file you want to restore.
  3. Perform one of the following actions:
      • Select a file on the right side of the dialog box (using the corresponding check box), and click the restore option on the toolbar (at the top of the dialog box).
      • Right-click the file, and select restore from the menu that appears.
  4. From the Select target folder dialog box (shown below), navigate to the folder that will contain the restored file.
  5. Click the folder to select it (the folder is highlighted), and click select.
    A confirmation message appears.
  6. Click Yes.
    The file is removed from the Trash folder and returned to the specified location in your LincDoc folder structure.
