Deleting and Restoring Files and Folders

Files and folders that you delete are stored in the Recycle bin. You can keep them there for a while, just in case someone wants to copy, edit, or delete them permanently.

To permanently delete files and folders you must delete them from the Recycle bin. You can select the files to delete, or delete all files at once. After permanently deleting the files, all users will lose access to them.

At any time, you can restore files and folders from the Recycle bin. The files and folders will be copied to their original location.

You can delete and restore files and folders only if you are their owner. If you are not their owner, contact the owner of the files to restore them.

The application displays the Recycle bin content from the following Cloud Storage services:

ARES Kudo Drive (default cloud storage)
Note: Deleted files are automatically removed after 30 days. They are taken into account when calculating the used storage space until the corresponding owner permanently deletes them.
Google Drive®
Box®

Note: The application does not display the Recycle bin content from Dropbox. You can access files stored in Recycle bin only from your Dropbox® account.
