An admin can recover deleted items of all users from the trashcan view. Unfortunately it is not possible to specify a different location during recovery, but as an admin you can of course move the restored item afterwards. Be aware that you can only restore the item that was deleted - if a folder was deleted you can only restore the entire folder with all its contents instead of a single file in that folder. This is a limitation of both the UI and the backing service.

Hi Gilberto,

If archival is not disabled, file is stored under <<ALFRESCO_HOME>>\alf_data\contentstore.deleted in file system.

In order to recover this data from admin, you need to login as admin and open this link :

http://<<HOST>>:<<PORT>>/share/page/user/admin/user-trashcan

You will be able to see all user’s deleted files. A recovered files will be placed at original location of the file. Even if the user is deleted by user, the user home will be available under “Company Home/User Homes/” space.

Thanks,

Kalpesh
