In Egnyte, when files or folders are deleted, they go into a Trash folder. Users may be allowed to restore items from their Trash folder to reverse accidental deletions. After items have been in the Trash folder for the designated period, they are emptied from the Trash and completely removed from Egnyte’s system.
Users can learn more about the trash and retention policy settings here.
Only users with Full or Owner permissions to a folder can delete items.
