New SkyDrive Recycle Bin Available
SkyDrive gets a recycle bin, Excel surveys coming soon
Microsoft is unveiling a new recycle bin feature for SkyDrive yesterday. After being rumored since earlier this year, SkyDrive will now offer a way to recover any files that may have been deleted by accident. SkyDrive already keeps previous versions of your Office documents automatically. But students, in particular, have asked for a way to recover any file — even those deleted by accident, by someone else, during a group project. So, Microsoft has added a recycle bin to SkyDrive.
The recycle bin feature works by offering SkyDrive users to undo a delete action, a fairly simple way to quickly retrieve a file deleted by mistake. There's also a link to the recycle bin in the folders list which will show a thumbnail to details view of recently deleted items. It will start to delete the oldest content in the recycle bin if it gets large enough to exceed 10 percent of the overall SkyDrive storage limit, and items will be permanently deleted after they have been there for 30 days.
