Files
When you
delete
a file then it will be removed from its folder and will be put into the INTERDUBS
trash.
INTERDUBS will check if a file with the same content exists elsewhere in your segment and will offer to delete the files there as well.
Folders
Deleting a
folder
will move all contained files into the
All folders contained in the folder will also be deleted.
Archive Flag
Files that have the
archive flag
set will be moved into a folder called /ARCHIVED_FILES when the folder containing them gets removed.
Trash
Files in the trash can be accessed via the
in the folder screen.
If you like to make files temporary not accessible you can use the hide function. See File_Management#hide for details.
Files in the trash for longer than 30 days will be deleted. Depending on storage use this time can be longer as well.
Files in the trash do not get counted in the total storage size for the Interdubs segment.
Recover files from trash
You can recover single files from the trash, if you need them again:
Click on the
copy file into OUT_OF_TRASH icon.
The file will be put into a new folder called OUT_OF_TRASH. The file will be re-introduced to INTERDUBS, so it might take a while to appears. Files that got deleted after July 2014 will have their meta data recovered as well.
Should you have deleted larger amount of files then please get in touch. We can often recover large batches of deleted files in a semi-automatic process.
In order to see files that have been deleted earlier use the
previous files
icon.
The INTERDUBS
search
function will also search the trash. At this point only the file name can be used to find files in the trash.
Purge
A root admin can delete files in your trash by choosing
permanently delete all files
button. This might take a little while, depending on the number of files.
You can delete a single file in the trash click on the
permanently delete one file
icon in the listing.
