Manage Trash Messages

Messages that you send to the trash are stored in the Trash folder until you restore or delete them. Messages in the Trash can be restored to the folder from which they originated or deleted to remove them from the system permanently. If necessary, deleted messages can be retrieved from the database by a system coordinator.  

Note: The images in this procedure show the system as it appears by default, and the tabs, fields, and labels on your page may be different.
