View Files in the Trash Bin

Modified on Wed, 17 Dec at 6:21 AM

Folders and files deleted from any drive type are moved to the Trash bin, where they are retained until permanently removed. You can view and manage the contents of the Trash bin at any time. Items that are no longer needed can be permanently deleted to free up storage and maintain better file organization.

Note: File preview is available only for formats supported by your browser, typically image files and PDFs.

To open the trash bin

  • Ensure you are in the project management console. If not.
    • Click the app launcher icon in the top-right  and select 'Project'

By default, the screen opens on the list view. You can switch between the list view and tile view at any time. 

The table shows the hierarchical list of folders and files in the project's trash bin. The 'Default View' shows all columns in the table. You can remove the columns you do not want to see from the table and save it as your custom view. See Customize Columns in List Views and Manage Custom List Views to learn more.
