Recycle Bin

The recycle bin is a temporary storage location for projects that have been deleted. It gives you a chance to restore the deleted project to its original location, if needed. Projects in the recycle bin are stored until you either empty the recycle bin or delete each individual project from the recycle bin.

Sending Projects to the Recycle Bin

Whenever you delete a project from a database, a confirmation window like the one shown next will appear.

If you want to move the project to the recycle bin, make sure the Send project to recycle bin check box is selected. If you want to immediately and permanently delete the project (no way to undo unless you have a backup or restore point), clear the check box.

Restoring and Deleting Projects from the Recycle Bin

In order to restore or delete a project from the recycle bin, you must have access to the project and have the permissions that are required to delete the project in general (i.e., for secure databases, you must either be the project owner, have the project-level "Delete project" permission or have the repository-level "Manage all projects" permission).

To restore a project from the recycle bin, select it and choose Project > Management > Recycle Bin > Restore Project.

To permanently delete a project in the recycle bin (no way to undo unless you have a backup or restore point), select it in the recycle bin and choose Project > Management > Recycle Bin > Delete Project.

To permanently delete all projects currently in the recycle bin (no way to undo unless you have a backup or restore point), select the Recycle Bin header in the project list and choose Project > Management > Recycle Bin > Empty Recycle Bin.
