Library Browser › Working with Objects and Folders › Delete or Restore an Object or Folder

Delete or Restore an Object or Folder

You can delete an automation object, an empty folder, or a folder that contains objects that you no longer need. The application moves deleted items to the Recycle Bin.

If you inadvertently delete an object you need (or a folder containing an object you need), you can restore that object with its folder structure.

Note: Only an administrator can permanently purge objects (and their folders) from the Recycle Bin.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Library tab.
2. Select one or more objects or folders.
3. Click Delete.

   To prevent immediate loss of data, the items automatically move to the Recycle Bin.

4. In the Library Browser folders pane, click Recycle Bin.
5. (Optional) Sort by Date, Name, or Type, or use the search features to locate specific items.
6. To restore objects or folders, select them and click Restore Selected.
7. To delete objects or folders permanently, select them and click Purge Selected.

   Important! After objects or folders are purged, you cannot recover them. When you select folders or a set of objects for purging, the purge process lists any checked-out objects. The administrator reviews the list. The administrator then continues or cancels the purge based on analysis results.
