-By default the File Fabric implements the concept of 'Trash' for files, similar to the Windows recycle bin. Trash is set to 'on' by default.\\ \\ When Trash is 'on' then files that are deleted or overwritten are moved to a 'Trash' folder on the storage provider and moved to the Trash view in the File Fabric (except for storage providers in which Trash is not supported).\\ \\ The Trash view on the File Fabric is a '.Trash' folder that is also visible directly on the storage.\\ \\ Trash can be set to 'off' from the Cloud DashBoard for each storage provider, accessible from their settings. When Trash is set to "off" then the file being deleted or overwritten will be deleted and **cannot be recovered** unless the underlying storage supports Trash, has it turned on, and thereby moves the file to Trash.+By default the File Fabric implements the concept of 'Trash' for files, similar to the Windows recycle bin.

 If Trash is deleted from a team folder then the Trash item is stored in an Admin’s Trash **not a users Trash**. This is a security measure to prevent users removing corporate data. For this data to be recovered it **has to be done by an Admin not the user**. Users are presented with a message informing of this when deleting files/folders from team folders. If Trash is deleted from a team folder then the Trash item is stored in an Admin’s Trash **not a users Trash**.
