# Deleting secrets and folders and the restoration

This section will explain how to delete a particular entry (secret or folder).

# Deletion

  1. Deletion of an entry

    You can delete an entry either by "right click"-ing the entry or by clicking on the three gears button of the entry. Click on Move to trash

    Move to trash bin

    The entry was now moved to the trash bin. If the option isn't visible you may not have the necessary permissions

# Restoration

If you delete an entry by accident, then you need to know that it's not directly deleted and instead just moved to the trash bin. You may restore as such any entry that was deleted by accident.

  1. Open Trash bin

    You can access your trash bin by clicking on the small trash bin symbol at the top right corner of your datastore screen:

    Open trash bin

  2. Click Restore

    In the restore column click the restore symbol.

    link share settings

    The entry should now re-appear in your regular datastore.

# Permanently delete

You may want to delete an entry from your datastore completely. As such move it to the trash bin, as described above and then

  1. Open Trash bin

    You can access your trash bin by clicking on the small trash bin symbol at the top right corner of your datastore screen:

    Open trash bin

  2. Click Delete

    In the right column click the delete symbol.

    link share settings

    The entry should now be removed from your trash bin.

    TIP

    Please take note that the deletion only affects your datastore. If the entry (or any sub entry) was shared with another user or group, then the other user or group will still have access to it.
