The InfoAsset Manager Recycle Bin is a holding area for files and folders that have been deleted from the Database tree view of the Explorer Window. The Recycle Bin's icon does not indicate whether there are items in the Recycle Bin, however, if any deleted items are stored in the bin, an asterisk in brackets (*) is displayed to the right of the icon.
Database items are stored in the Recycle Bin until they are permanently deleted or restored to their original location.
To open the Recycle Bin
The Explorer Window toolbar can be used to show item details, sort items or find items. See the Explorer Window topic for details on the functionality available from the toolbar.
A context menu is available for all items.
Each of these options are described in detail in the sections below.
To empty the Recycle Bin
To restore all Database Items to their original location within the current Database
To restore one or more Database Items to their original location within the current Database
The items are restored in order of their position in the database hierarchy, with the highest level items restored first. This means that they are then available as restore points for subsequent descendant items.
A message is displayed if you attempt to restore an item whose parent has either been permanently deleted or is currently in the recycle bin but is not selected to be restored. Click OK and a new window is displayed enabling you to choose a different restore location.
Select the required location from the available options and click OK to restore the item to the selected location. Both the current item and any subsequent orphaned items with missing parents of the same type will be restored to the selected restore point.
Like for any other database item, you can view the properties of a deleted database item and hide / unhide a Recycle Bin database item, as described in Working with Database Items.
