Deleting and the Trash

Cascade Server has a Trash that holds deleted assets for 15 days before permanently deleting them from the CMS.

Deleting an asset

  1. To send an asset to the Trash, you may do so one of two ways:
    1. Right-click the asset from the Site Content panel and choose Delete.
    2. Select Delete from the More menu while the asset is selected.
      Select Delete from the More menu
  2. You will see a Confirm screen that asks if you are really sure you want to unpublish and delete the asset.

    If the asset is connected to other pages, you will see a yellow warning message. If you are sure you want to delete the asset, click the blue Delete button at upper right. If you would like to see what other assets are using the asset, click "More details."

  3. You should be taken back to the folder where the asset was formerly located; the Delete successful banner should briefly appear at the bottom of the screen.

  4. To update the left navigation, you will need to republish the folder from which the page was deleted and your site’s index page. For instructions, please see Publishing/Unpublishing.

If you change your mind, you have a limited time to restore the asset from the Trash ...

Restoring an asset from the trash

  1. The Trash is located in the left folder tree, near the top just under Site Content
