# Recycle Bin Settings

The Recycle Bin feature in HIVO allows users to recover deleted assets within a limited time period, ensuring that accidentally removed files can be restored quickly and easily.

<details>

<summary>Benefits of the Recycle Bin</summary>

The Recycle Bin provides a safeguard for your assets, allowing you to:

* *Retrieve accidentally deleted assets without needing to re-upload or recreate content.*
* *Reduce the risk of data loss and ensure that important assets can be restored promptly.*&#x20;

### Who can Restore Assets&#x20;

* Access to restore assets from the Recycle Bin is controlled by admin permissions.&#x20;
* Admins can enable or restrict restore access for individual users or user groups, based on your organization’s needs.

#### 🔹 Step 2: Search for Assets to Restore&#x20;

Locate the asset you need to restore by using the search and filter tools. HIVO provides several filters to help you find deleted assets quickly:

* **By User Deleted :** Filter by the name of the person who deleted the asset.&#x20;
* **By Deleted Date:** Filter by the deletion date.&#x20;
* **By File Name:** Search for the asset by name.&#x20;

You can combine these filters for more efficient searching to locate specific assets.

#### 🔹 Step 3: **Select the Asset and Restore**

* Once you’ve located the asset, select it and click the **Restore** button to recover it.
* The asset will be restored to its original folder path where it was located before deletion.
