### 5.6.4. Specifying the Recycle Bin Preference

As a backup measure, objects that are deleted from an EKM repository are stored in the Recycle Bin until they are acted upon. You can specify how and when items are permanently removed from the recycle bin by setting your Recycle Bin preference.

To edit your Recycle Bin preference:

1. Click the user profile drop box on the title bar and select Settings.

2. In the Settings dialog box, select the Preferences tab.

3. In the navigation pane, select Recycle Bin.

   Figure 5.29: Recycle Bin Preferences

You can choose between deleting all objects on exit or logout, deleting objects that are older than a specified number of days, or deleting objects only when you initiate the action. The default preference is to delete objects older than 30 days, which you can restore by clicking Restore Defaults.

In addition to setting preferences, you will be able to act on recycle bin objects in the Recycle Bin during an EKM session using Empty Recycle Bin, Restore and Delete. See Accessing the Recycle Bin for more details.
