Restore or permanently delete items in your team
Files and folders deleted from Trash in My Folders and Team Folders will be temporarily moved to Deleted Items in Admin Console before they are permanently deleted from your team based on the data retention policy. Team Admins can choose to restore these items during the data retention period.
