3.6.2 Your wastebasket

Your wastebasket icon is displayed in the instant access bar of every folder page. Its form indicates whether or not there are objects in the wastebasket.

  • Click the Waste icon to inspect the contents of your wastebasket. It lists its contents like any folder page.

A basic set of actions is offered on the selection menu bar. In particular,

 Undelete  
returns selected objects to the locations from which they were deleted, i. e. moved to the wastebasket -- if these locations are still available. To move the selected objects to a different location,  Cut   and  Paste   them in a place of your choice.

 Destroy  
transfers the selected objects into the wastebasket of their respective owner
or
destroys the selected objects, if it is performed in their owner's wastebasket.

Note:
Destroying an object in the owner's wastebasket cannot be undone.

Objects in a shared workspace are destroyed in three steps. BSCW allows you to undo the first two steps. The third step can be performed only by the owner of the object (typically the member who created it).

  1. A member of the workspace applies  Delete   to an object. BSCW moves the object to the wastebasket of this member. The other members of the workspace can no longer see and access the object, but the member who performed the  Delete   action can easily  Undelete   the object from his or her wastebasket.
  2. The member of the workspace applies the  Destroy   action to the object in her or his wastebasket. This will transfer the object to the wastebasket of its owner.
  3. The owner may decide to  Undelete   the object that now shows up in her or his wastebasket or to  Cut   and  Paste   it in a safe place. Or the owner performs the  Destroy   action on the object to destroy it irreversibly.

Special rules apply to deleting versions of documents under version control (see section 4.8.6).
