If you delete a document or folder, it moves to the Trash Bin first, where you can recover it if necessary. The Trash Bin is not emptied automatically.
Important: Deleting a document or folder from your library does not remove it permanently right away. It stays in the Trash Bin until you recover it, move it, or delete it permanently. Permanent delete from the Trash Bin cannot be undone.
Please note: This article covers deleting documents and folders from Library view. To delete pages inside a notebook, see Deleting pages and covers.
