How to Delete a file or folder from Trash in Zoho WorkDrive
Resolution
- Navigate to the left pane and click My Folders. The My Folders window will appear on the right.
- Click the Manage button next to My Folders at the top-left and choose Trash. The Trash folder will appear.
- Select the file or folder you want to delete and click the Delete button at the top of the trash list.

- As an extra layer of data security, once items in the Trash are deleted, they will be temporarily moved to Deleted Items under the Data Administration tab in the Admin Console. Learn how to manage deleted items in Admin Console.
- Support for Data Administration is only available in WorkDrive’s Business plan and for Zoho One users. Learn more about WorkDrive plans and pricing.
- Users on other plans (WorkDrive Essentials (Free), WorkDrive Starter, WorkDrive Team, Workplace bundle) need to upgrade to the WorkDrive Business plan to restore or permanently delete items using the Data Administration tab before the default 90 days retention period.
- For WorkDrive Business plan and Zoho One users, Admins can configure retention settings to automatically delete items from the Trash after certain days (7/15/30). Learn more about data retention policies.
