Deleting or restoring a file

You can delete a file permanently or move it to the recycle bin. A file moved to the recycle bin can be restored, but a permanently deleted file cannot.

Files in the recycle bin occupy storage space. To save storage space, periodically empty the recycle bin by using the reset recycle-bin command.

Perform the following tasks in user view:
