Exercise 2 -- Permanently delete items from the recycle bin
Goal: Learn when and how to permanently remove content. Understand that permanent deletion cannot be taken back.
- Open the Recycle bin application.
- Select the item you want to delete permanently.
- Click Delete permanently.
- Review if the item isn’t referenced in some place where it should not be deleted from.
- If all looks good, confirm the action.
Permanent deletion cannot be undone. Before permanently deleting an item, ask yourself:
- Are you sure this content will never be reused?
- Does it contain large assets?
- Could some other team member still need to use it as a reference in some place?
If you’re unsure, leave the item in the recycle bin, and answer those questions before the retention period expires.
