When you delete a file in the Drime mobile app, the app asks **Move to trash?**, then moves it to the trash. You can restore it from there within 30 days, or delete it for good. After 30 days, Drime deletes it permanently.

## Open the trash

Open the account menu, then **Recycle bin**. The **Trash** screen lists your deleted files and folders. When it is empty, it reads **Trash is empty**.

## Restore a file or folder

1. In **Trash**, select the files or folders to get back.

2. Tap **Restore**.

   They go back where they were.

If you open a deleted folder, the app shows **This folder is in your trash** with **To view this folder, restore it from the trash.**

## Delete permanently

1. In **Trash**, select the files or folders.

2. Tap **Delete permanently**, then confirm **Delete permanently?**.

To delete everything at once, tap **Empty**, then confirm **Empty trash?**: **All items will be permanently deleted. This action cannot be undone.**

> **Warning**
>
> A permanent deletion can't be undone, in the app or on the web.
