Recycle Bin's actions panel

The Actions panel has the following options. When reviewing the following note the difference between deletion tasks and the purging of data. A deletion task can find old data in Secret Store and automatically move it to the recycle bin. Purging data is the process of permanently "emptying" the recycle bin.

  • Purge all... or Purge all in background...

    Performs an immediate, irreversible purge of all items in the recycle bin. By default, a confirmation modal appears, which can be disabled.

    The label depends on the amount of data in the recycle bin. If the amount of data to purge is small, you see Purge all... and the system purges the data while you wait. If the amount of data would take a longer time to purge, you see Purge all in background... which starts the purge as a background task so you can continue using the snap-in or console. If you click Refresh in the console, the refreshed contents will allow you to see how far the purge has progressed.

  • View

    An MMC standard action that lets you customize the view of the overall console and which has not been modified by Venafi.

  • Refresh

    Perform an immediate refresh of the contents of the recycle bin. As you take actions on the recycle bin, it automatically refreshes. This option allows you to refresh without taking any other action.
