Important Notes about the Recycle Bin in TeraBox
- Store Time: The removed files stay in the Recycle Bin for nearly 30 days; therefore, when this time has elapsed, they are permanently deleted from the system. If this period is reached, files will be automatically purged and cannot be recovered anymore.
- Number of Files Allowed in Recycle Bin Limits are applied to the number of files that can stay in the Recycle Bin at any time depending on your TeraBox storage plan.
- Multiple File Recovery You have an option to recover multiple files at once. Doing this on mobile or through desktop, all you’ll need to do is tap or click on the check boxes of all the files you want to recover before doing this.
- Restore Location: When restoring files, they will be restored to the original folder in your TeraBox storage. In case the original folder has been deleted, it will be recovered by TeraBox to the main storage or default location.
What If Files Are Permanently Deleted from the Recycle Bin?
If your files have already been permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin, TeraBox can’t recover them. In such scenarios, it is always best to:
Backup Files Regularly: Always keep backups of important files in other cloud storage services or hard drives to avoid accidental loss.
Check Other Devices: If you have synced TeraBox with other devices, check whether the files remain on any other connected device.
Conclusion
Retrieving erased files from TeraBox Recycle Bin can be as simple as a few quick taps or clicks depending on whether that is from the mobile application or web version. So long as those files have not been permanently deleted and have not exceeded the 30 days during which one may retrieve them back to their original location, access is available.
Consider periodic backups of your files and check the Recycle Bin frequently to recover files before they are permanently deleted.
