Recycle bin
The PSIsafe Desktop Recycle Bin operates much like the Windows Recycle Bin. When you delete a document or a folder from PSIsafe Desktop, it is sent to the recycle bin. The document remains in the recycle bin until it is permanently deleted.
Each repository/cabinet pair has separate recycle bins. Select the correct repository and cabinet from the lists on the left side of the screen. On the right side of the screen, you can see a list of documents or folders. To see folders, use the Search Folders tab. To see documents, use the Search Documents tab.
Search, restore, or permanently delete folders
To restore a folder to the cabinet, click the Restore Folder button on the toolbar.
To delete the folder permanently, click Delete Folder. The Delete function is final and you cannot retrieve the folder after this action.
The Recycle Bin enables you to search for a specific folder that has been deleted using the Search Folders function. You can search folders based on any Folder Index by selecting the preferred index from the Index Name list. Specify a date range with the Start Date and End Date input fields, then click Search.
Alternatively, you can select the option to Show All Deleted Folders or Show Folders Containing Deleted Documents to identify empty folders versus folders with content.
Search, restore, or permanently delete documents
To view documents in the Recycle Bin, select the Search Documents tab. When this tab is selected, you see a list of documents.
To search for specific documents, enter search criteria at the bottom of the screen and click Search.
To select a document, click it within the list or press Ctrl or Shift on the keyboard to select multiple documents. After you select the documents, you can do the following.
- Restore removes the document from the Recycle Bin and places it back into the cabinet and folder from which it was deleted.
-
Delete permanently removes the document from
PSIsafe Desktop.
When you attempt to permanently delete an item from PSIsafe Desktop, the configured User, Cabinet Owner, Cabinet Administrator, or System Administrator must sign in to complete the process.
The applicable administrator settings are configured within PSIsafe Desktop and will prompt the selected type of user.
Then, a delete warning message appears. If you click Yes, the document is permanently deleted, and you cannot restore it later.
