Managing Deleted Files

When you delete a file or folder, it moves to the Recently Deleted folder where it remains for 30 days before permanent deletion. During this time, you can restore it or delete it permanently.

Important: Deleting a file removes access for all collaborators and deactivates its share link.

Accessing Recently Deleted Files

In the left sidebar of your workspace, scroll down until you see Recently Deleted folder.

All files and folders deleted in the past 30 days will appear here.

Restoring Deleted Files

Restoring a file returns it to its original location with all permissions, comments, version history, and share links intact.

To restore a file or folder:

1. Open the Recently Deleted folder
2. Hover over the item you want to restore
3. Click the menu icon (⋮)
4. Select Restore

Note: Individual files within a deleted folder cannot be restored separately—you must restore the entire folder.

Deleting Files Permanently

Files are automatically deleted permanently after 30 days. You can also manually delete them sooner.

To permanently delete a file or folder:

1. Open the Recently Deleted folder
2. Hover over the item you want to delete
3. Click the menu icon (⋮)
4. Select Delete Permanently

Warning: Permanently deleted files cannot be recovered.
