Deleting, renaming and moving things

Deleting is reversible. When you delete a file, folder, site, project or dataset it goes to the workspace trash — it stops appearing in listings, and its share links stop working immediately, but it is not gone. You can see what is in the trash (list_trash) and restore it (restore_item). If you delete a folder, restoring it brings back what was inside as a group. Erasing something for good is a separate step (purge_trash) that you have to confirm. Nothing in the trash is erased automatically. Renaming and moving work on anything: files, folders, sites, spaces, projects. In Docs you can act on several documents at once. On the Browse list, tick the box at the left of a row (or press X on the row under the cursor), and Shift-click (or Shift X) to select a range; "Select all" on the bar at the bottom selects every row in view. The bar then offers Move to a folder (type a new name to create that folder), Set state, and Move to the trash, for up to 50 documents at once. Anything that couldn't be done stays selected so you can try again, and a move or a trip to the trash can be undone from the message that follows. "Narrow" beside the filter shows one kind of document, or those updated this week. Each row also has its own ⋯ menu.
