# Trash

> Review, restore, and permanently delete floors, hotspots, and photos that have been moved to Trash.

## Overview

Trash is a property-level area where you can review content that has been moved to Trash.

You can restore content that is still needed or permanently delete content that is no longer required.

## Trash list and Trash mode

When you click **Trash**, you can choose:

* **Trash list** to review content that has been moved to Trash across the property, see its count and size, and restore or permanently delete it.
* **Activate trash mode** to view the selected floor with all hotspots, including hotspots that are in Trash and hotspots that contain trashed photos.

Trash mode helps you see where trashed content sits on the floor plan.

## How to read Trash mode

Hotspot colour shows whether the hotspot itself is in Trash. A number on the hotspot shows how many trashed photos it contains.

| Hotspot appearance      | Meaning                                                                            |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Blue with no number** | The hotspot is not in Trash and contains no trashed photos.                        |
| **Blue with a number**  | The hotspot is not in Trash. The number shows how many trashed photos it contains. |
| **Grey with no number** | The hotspot is in Trash and contains no trashed photos.                            |
| **Grey with a number**  | The hotspot is in Trash. The number shows how many trashed photos it contains.     |

A **TRASHED** label on a photo means that the photo is in Trash.

<Note>
  The number on a hotspot is the number of trashed photos in that hotspot. It is not the total number of photos in the hotspot.
</Note>

## Navigate in Trash mode

Use the floor and hotspot dropdowns in the breadcrumbs to find trashed content while Trash mode is active.

* In the **floor dropdown**, a red number shows how many hotspots are in Trash on that floor.
* A red **Trashed** label in the floor dropdown means that the floor itself is in Trash.
* In the **hotspot dropdown**, a red number shows how many photos are in Trash in that hotspot.
* A red **Trashed** label in the hotspot dropdown means that the hotspot itself is in Trash.

You can select floors and hotspots from these dropdowns to review their trashed content.

## Restore or delete from Trash mode

You can restore or permanently delete content directly from Trash mode.

* Open the item menu for a floor or hotspot to use the available **Restore**, **Delete**, and **Details** actions.
* Photos in Trash display a **TRASHED** label.
* Open a trashed photo to use its available Restore, Delete, and Details actions.

## Trash actions

The actions available depend on what is selected and where you are viewing it.

* **View** opens the selected item so you can review its trashed content.
* **Restore** restores the selected floor, hotspot, or photo.
* **Restore all** restores all applicable trashed content within the selected item.
* **Delete** permanently deletes the selected floor, hotspot, photo, or Bucket content.
* **Delete all** permanently deletes all content currently in Trash for the property.
