Deleting and Restoring Files and Folders from the Cloud Storage

Files and folders that you delete are stored in Deleted files. 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 Deleted files. After permanently deleting a file, all users will lose access to it.

At any time, you can restore files and folders from Deleted files to their original location.
