Enabling the SafeConsole Recycle Bin


  • Log in to your SafeConsole Server using your Owner account and navigate to Server Settings>General





  • Locate the "Enable recycle bin for Devices and SafeCrypt Drives" option and check the box

By clicking on the trash button, your Drives table will filter down to see only drives that have been Deleted and moved to the Trash. A device that is Deleted allows you to recover a license seat. From the Trash, you will be able to permanently delete a device from your SafeConsole server, or restore the drive back to an active state.
