Delete/Restore

The TeamWox system has a feature of protection of files/folders from deletion. When deleting, all of them are preliminary moved to the "Trash".

Trash

Like in all the filters, when switching to the trash, one can see only the files and folders that are located in a currently selected folder. To view all the documents in the trash, press the "Show all" button located in the upper part of the tab.

Deleted documents are stored in the trash for 30 days, then they are automatically removed from the system.

Deleting Folders

As already mentioned above, when deleting files from a folder they are moved to the trash. At that physically they continue staying in the folder they has been deleted from. Also a user may be not able to see some sub-folders due to the lack of corresponding access rights. User cannot delete a folder with such files and folder. To inform a user about the presence/absence of hidden files/folders, the corresponding messages are displayed when viewing a folder:

  • Information Folder contains files or sub-folders that you are not able to see or they were moved to trash;
  • Information Folder doesn't contain any files or sub-folders.

Complete Deletion

If you need to completely remove a document from the system, press the Delete button that appears if you point the mouse cursor over it. To completely remove all the documents and folders from the trash, one should press the "Clear" button located in the upper part of the tab.

Restoring

To restore a file or folder from the trash, press the Restore button that appears when putting the mouse cursor over the corresponding line. Elements are restored to the same folder they were removed from.
