Trash bin

The Trash Bin is a temporary storage location for deleted tasks and documents before permanent deletion. It serves as a safety net, enabling the recovery of accidentally removed items.

Deletion Process for Tasks, Documents, and Project Files

When a task or document is deleted from a project, it's moved to the Trash Bin instead of being immediately and permanently removed. This provides an opportunity to restore the item if needed.

Item Retention Period in the Trash Bin

Items remain in the Trash Bin for 30 days. After this period, they are automatically and permanently deleted from the system and cannot be recovered. Restoration after 30 days is not possible.

Accessing the Trash Bin

The Trash Bin can be accessed by clicking the "Trash Bin" menu underneath a project name. This opens a page displaying all tasks and documents of the project currently stored within the Trash Bin.

Restoring Items from the Trash Bin

  1. Navigate to the Trash Bin.
  2. Locate the desired task or document for restoration.
  3. Click the "Restore" button in the "more" options icon.

The restored item will be relocated to its original position within the project from which it was initially deleted.

Permanently Deleting Items from the Trash Bin

To immediately and permanently delete an item, follow these steps within the Trash Bin:

  1. Navigate to the Trash Bin.
  2. Identify the specific task, document, or project file intended for permanent deletion.
  3. Click the "Delete immediately" button in the objects options.
Warning: 

This action is irreversible. Once an item has been permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered.

Important Considerations

  • Irreversible Deletion: Keep in mind that items are permanently deleted after 30 days and cannot be retrieved. The same applies when using the "Delete Permanently" option.
  • Access Permissions: Access to the Trash Bin is usually determined by user roles and permissions within the project. Project administrators generally have full access, while other users may have limited or no access.
  • Performance Impact: Although there's no strict limit to the number of items that can be stored in the Trash Bin, having a very large number of items may affect performance. Regularly reviewing and clearing the Trash Bin is a good practice.
