Trash

Items deleted from your Filecamp account aren’t really deleted … they are just moved to the Trash. This two-step process adds an extra precaution to keep you from accidentally deleting a file or folder.


Empty Trash

To access the Trash, click on the Main menu and select Trash.

Then, click the Empty Trash button in the Toolbar. You will see how much storage space can be freed by emptying your Trash. Click YES, DELETE to confirm and permanently empty your Trash.

When you empty the Trash the files are permanently deleted and the used storage space will be released.

Notice: When you have emptied your trash, it can take up to 15 minutes before your storage level is updated. It may also be necessary to refresh your browser or to re-login.

Recover files from Trash

If files or folders are accidentally deleted, users with Trash access can view them in the Trash. However, only users with Full access to Home (all folders) can restore items from the Trash.

To recover files or folders, click the Trash icon in the main menu.

Select the files and folders you want to recover, then choose Move from the Bulk Action Bar. A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to navigate to the destination folder.

The file or folder will be instantly removed from the Trash and restored to the destination folder.

Notice: Only Administrators and users with Trash access permission can see and access the Trash. Only users with Full access to Home (all folders) can restore items from the Trash.
