Recycle Bin

Items deleted by users are moved to the recycle bin. Vault Admins are the only ones who can view the recycle bin and restore items from it.

• After 90 days in the recycle bin, files are permanently deleted. When a file is permanently deleted, it cannot be restored anymore.
• When the folder or file is a reference in Q&A, the reference will remain, and the word deleted is added to the reference. When the reference is a document, this cannot be viewed anymore.
• When a file is deleted, the activities of all users in the Vault on the deleted item will remain displayed in the activity reports and audit logs.
