Figure 3.39: Changing file or folder permissions

Deleting a file or folder

CPanel includes a Trash folder, which operates the same way as the Windows Recycle Bin. All deleted files are

automatically placed in the Trash folder and can be restored to their original positions by a simple click. However,

once you empty the Trash folder, the files are permanently deleted. Refer to page 44 for more information.

To delete a file or folder:

1. Navigate to the file(s) or folder(s) that you want to delete.

2. Click on the name of the file or folder to display the item's properties in the top right corner of your window.

3. Click on the Delete File link. The deleted file or folder is now displayed in the Trash area. Refer to page

43 if you deleted the wrong file or folder by accident.

Figure 3.40: Deleting a file

Restoring an item from the Trash

You can easily restore a deleted file from the Trash by moving it from the Trash to another folder. Restored

folders are automatically moved back to their original location. However, you will not be able to restore the item

if you have emptied the Trash since deleting it   it has been permanently destroyed.

To restore an item from the Trash:

1. Click on the icon of the item that you want to restore in the Trash area on the bottom right of the window.

The folder or file will be automatically returned to its original location.
