Recycle Bin - Overview

 

Your recycle bin is specific to you and you only see items you have moved to the recycle bin. (Administrators and other users with the Manage Recycle Bin permission can see, restore and delete items from everyone in the enterprise.)

Items Moved to Recycle Bin

In most PPM applications, when you "delete" an item, the item is moved to the Recycle Bin. For a list of items that are moved to the Recycle Bin when deleted, see Items Moved to the Recycle Bin.

Items in the Recycle Bin are retained for the length of time specified by the Recycle Bin Retention setting configured by the PPM Administrator. By default items are retained for 60 days before being permanently deleted.

With the appropriate permissions, you can restore items you have moved to the recycle bin, or permanently delete them from the recycle bin. By default most users have the Restore Own Items from Recycle Bin and Delete Own Items from Recycle Bin permissions.

If an application item is moved to the recycle bin when you delete it, you are not asked to confirm the deletion. Instead, the item is moved. For some applications, a message displays, telling you that the item has been moved to the Recycle Bin.

Items Permanently Deleted (not moved to Recycle Bin)

Certain application items are permanently deleted rather than being moved to the recycle bin. For example, tasks and notifications are permanently deleted when you delete them from their respective applications. For a list of items that are permanently deleted (rather than moved to the Recycle Bin), see Items Not Moved to the Recycle Bin.

If an application item is going to be permanently deleted rather than moved to the recycle bin, you are prompted with a confirmation message when you delete the item.

To open the Recycle Bin, click the Recycle Bin tab.
