Deleted File Handling

Specify how deleted files should be handled, by selecting one of the following:

  • Keep Deleted Files. Files deleted in the source folder should be kept and not deleted in the destination folder.
    For example, if one of the files in the folder is deleted on the CTERA Agent-enabled computer, the file will not be deleted from the appliance network share.
  • Move to Trash Can. Files deleted in the source folder should be moved from the destination folder to the Recycle Bin, which is a special folder named “.Trash”.
  • Delete. Files deleted in the source folder should be permanently deleted from the destination folder.

The default value is Delete.
