# Documents management

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||
|
## Deleting a document
|
||||||
|
There are two options to delete a document:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![](en/delete.gif)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Move to trash**: this will send a document to your **Trash** can but it will remains in the CryptDrive database for other users who have previously stored it. The document can be recovered using the drive **history**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![](en/move_to_trash.gif)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- You can remove a document by dragging it to the **Trash**, right-clicking on it and selecting **Move to trash** or selecting it and pressing the `Del` key.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- To remove a document from the drive without storing it in the **Trash** first, select it and press the `Shift` + `Del` keys.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- To empty the **Trash** just right-click on the **Trash** tab and select **Empty the trash** or click on the **Trash** tab and then **EMPTY THE TRASH** button.<br>
|
||||||
|
In any case, if you are the owner of some documents in the trash when you empty it, you will be prompted to decide if you want to **REMOVE** or **DESTROY** them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![](en/empty_trash.gif)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. **Detroy**: this action deletes a document from the database permanently. Destroying a document will delete it from all users drives that have store it, and it cannot be recovered again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![](en/destroy.gif)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- To destroy a document, right-click on it and select **Destroy**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!! Remember that if a document is not stored in any CryptDrive, it is automatically destroyed from the database after 90 days.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!! **NOTE**<br>
|
||||||
|
!! Once destroyed, documents may still appear in other user's CryptDrives. Once a document has been added to someone's drive, the encrypted nature of CryptPad makes it impossible to take it back. Therefore a destroyed document may still appeared in a user's drive if they had previously stored it. However, they will not be able to open the document.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## History
|
||||||
|
CryptDrive saves a history of versions that can be restored if you need it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![](en/history.gif)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To restore a version:
|
||||||
|
- click on the history button at the right of the toolbar, under the user avatar;
|
||||||
|
- navigate the history with the **|<< |<** and **>| >>|** arrows;
|
||||||
|
- once you find the version you were looking for, restore it by clicking on **RESTORE**. To exit the history without restoring, click on **CLOSE**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!! **NOTE on shared folders**<br>
|
||||||
|
!! Shared folders have their own history, separate from the CryptDrive's one. Restoring the history of the drive does not affect shared folders, conversely the history of a shared folder can be restored without affecting the rest of the drive.
|
||||||
