Recycle bin

Getting a deleted file back

Deleting a file syncs the deletion, so it disappears from every device. The recycle bin is where deleted files wait, and where you get one back.

Settings → Courier → Recycle bin → View. One row per deleted file, with when it was deleted and which device deleted it. Click a row to see the content the deletion removed.

  1. Click the file and check the content.
  2. Click Restore. The file comes back at its original path and syncs to your other devices.

If another file has taken that path, Courier does not overwrite it: it asks for a name, pre-filled with the original name plus -1, and keeps the folder.

Clear recycle bin permanently deletes every listed file and its version history, and frees the space. This cannot be undone.

An account with a retention window loses versions after it. A deleted file whose versions are gone stays in the list with a warning and cannot be restored.

The recycle bin is read with the vault password, so while sync is paused it asks you to resume and unlock first.
