This document covers the following topics:
The Wastebasket is a system folder which cannot be erased.
When you erase an object which is filed in a folder, it does not disappear from Con-nect immediately, but is stored in the Wastebasket. The exceptions are distribution lists, command aliases and folders (these objects are erased immediately).
All objects contained in the Wastebasket are displayed according to the default display sequence; this may be either ascending or descending date order (see Display Sequence of Objects in a Folder).
You may decide not to erase the object after all, in which case you can retrieve it from the Wastebasket and file it in another folder.
When you erase an object, the keywords are also erased. When you retrieve an object from the Wastebasket (by filing it in a folder), you have to enter the keywords once more.
Caution:
You cannot retrieve an object that has been erased from the
Wastebasket.
Your administrator can define the number of days an object is kept in the Wastebasket before it can be deleted from the system with the batch utility "Delete Folder Contents". Ask your administrator for further information. The batch utility "Delete Folder Contents" is described in Con-nect Utilities.
Objects which are not filed in a folder are erased from Con-nect immediately - they are not placed in the Wastebasket. These objects are calendar entries, resources, notepad pages, enclosures, attached notes, cover notes, profiles for shared users and bulletin boards (only your administrator can erase a bulletin board).
Issue the following command sequence from any point in Con-nect:
DISPLAY Folder wastebasket
As a result, the "Contents of Folder Wastebasket" screen appears.
