Managing deleted files
When you delete a file in Hub, it is not immediately deleted permanently, only moved into the trash bin. It is not permanently deleted until you manually delete it, or when the Deleted Files app deletes it to make room for new files.
Find your deleted files by clicking on the Deleted files button on the Files page of the Hub Web interface. You’ll have options to either restore or permanently delete files.
Quotas
Deleted files are not counted against your storage quota. Only your personal files count against your quota, not files which were shared with you. (See Storage quota to learn more about quotas.)
What happens when shared files are deleted
Deleting files gets a little complicated when they are shared files, as this scenario illustrates:
-
User1 shares a folder “test” with User2 and User3
-
User2 (the recipient) deletes a file/folder “sub” inside of “test”
-
The folder “sub” will be moved to the trash bin of both User1 (owner) and User2 (recipient)
-
But User3 will not have a copy of “sub” in their trash bin
When User1 deletes “sub” then it is moved to User1’s trash bin. It is deleted from User2 and User3, but not placed in their trash bins.
When you share files, other users may copy, rename, move, and share them with other people, just as they can for any computer files; Hub does not have magic powers to prevent this.
