Deleting and restoring resources
You can delete resources from the Resource Tree page and restore the deleted resources from the Recycle Bin page.
About this task
You can restore the resources to their previous locations in the resource tree. However, after resources are deleted from the recycle bin, they cannot be restored. When restored, the resources are restored as a child resource of the original parent resource. If the parent was moved, the resource is restored to the parent's new location.
If the deleted resource is mapped to an environment, the resource is deleted from the environment also. In case you still require the deleted resource, restore the resource, and map it to the environment again.
To delete or restore resources from the recycle bin, you must be logged on as administrator or have the Execute on Resources and Manage Children permissions.
