Restore from Trash

Purpose

Restore a deleted file or folder from trash when the item still exists in the recoverable trash area.

Prerequisites

  • You are signed in to EisenVault One.
  • Trash or deleted-item recovery is enabled in your deployment.
  • You have permission to view and restore the deleted item.

Before You Begin

Trash behavior can vary by deployment. Some environments keep deleted items for a fixed retention period, while others may allow administrators to permanently remove items sooner.

Restoring an item usually returns it to its original location. If the original parent folder was also deleted or no longer exists, EisenVault One may ask you to choose another destination or may block the restore until the parent location is available.

Restore an Item

  1. Open the trash or deleted-items area.
  2. Find the file or folder you want to restore.
  3. Review the item name, original location, and deletion details if shown.
  4. Open the item's options menu.
  5. Click Restore.
  6. Confirm the restore action.
  7. Return to the original location, or the selected destination, and confirm that the item is available again.
