Deleting and Restoring Documents

 

When you delete files or folders from Docsvault, they are moved to the Docsvault Recycle Bin.

 

The Recycle Bin provides a safety net for deleted files and folders. You can restore deleted documents along with their versions and profile information as long as they remain in the Recycle Bin.

 

You can also open files from the Recycle Bin to review their contents before restoring them or to copy information from them. You can export files from the Recycle Bin when you need a copy outside Docsvault.

 

To permanently remove files from Docsvault, you must permanently delete them from the Recycle Bin. You can delete individual items or empty the entire Recycle Bin. Users with Empty Recycle Bin system rights can permanently delete files from the Recycle Bin.

•Before deleting a document, make sure it is checked in and is not currently routed by another user.
