Enabling the Recycle Bin
Scenarios
EVS recycle bin is disabled by default. You need to manually enable it before you can use it.
If the recycle bin is enabled, EVS disks will be moved to the recycle bin upon deletion. This can help protect your disk data from accidental deletions.
Constraints
- To learn when EVS disks will be moved to the recycle bin after the recycle bin is enabled, see Recycle Bin Rules for Deleted EVS Disks.
- When you delete a disk, regardless of whether the disk will be moved to the recycle bin or not, the disk snapshots will always be deleted permanently.
- There are no limits on the capacity and quantity of disks in the recycle bin.
- Separately deleted disks are stored in the recycle bin for a maximum of seven days by default. During this period, you can recover or permanently delete the disks. After the disks expire, they are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
Procedure
- Sign in to the EVS console.
- Click the Recycle Bin tab.
- On the Recycle Bin tab, click Enable Recycle Bin to open the Configure Recycle Bin Policy page.
- Set a minimum number of days that must elapse after a disk was created before it can be moved to the recycle bin upon deletion or unsubscription.
- Click OK. Deleted or unsubscribed disks that meet the recycle bin policy will be displayed on the Recycle Bin tab.
