-

Considerations
-
Objects in the recycle bins are not included when searching from the Advanced Search tab, nor from Search. Recycle bin objects can be searched using the Search in recycle bin option defined below.
-
Attribute values of objects in the recycle bins cannot be edited. If editing is required, the object must be revived.
Resolving Deleted Objects
Deleted objects in the System Setup Recycle Bin can be managed as a group from the Recycle Bin node or individually.
Group actions
To address all objects in the System Setup Recycle Bin, right-click the Recycle Bin node and choose one of the available options described below:
-
Search in recycle bin searches for deleted objects in this recycle bin. In Oracle-based systems, by default this includes both ID and Name, while the default for Cassandra-based systems is by ID but allows searching Name via an Advanced option.
The options in the Advanced section vary based on the type of database in use.
Cassandra Database Options

When a background process is required for the deletions due to the number of objects, it can be monitored on the BG Processes tab within the Empty Recycle Bin node.
-
Force Empty Recycle Bin is not recommended for production data since it ignores deletion approvals, events, and references and purges objects with an 'in Use' status. This option is intended to remove test data when ignoring dependencies is not an issue.
-
Approve Deletion Recursively has no impact on objects in the System Setup Recycle Bin since they cannot be approved. All objects are flagged with 'Not In Use'. For information about using an Approve Deletion Recursively option on objects in the Tree Recycle Bin, refer to the Recycle Bin for the Tree Tab topic in the Getting Started documentation.
