Managing Deleted Items

Luckily, deleting items in Outlook is not necessarily permanent. In the next few steps, you'll see how to delete a note and then recover it.

1. If necessary, click the down arrow in the Outlook Bar until you can see the Deleted Items icon. Back in the Notes folder, make sure that the IDSK note is highlighted and then press Delete. There are myriad ways to delete notes, but we won't cover all of them here.

2. In the Outlook Bar, click Deleted Items to see the contents. Any previously deleted items are shown in the upper half of the window. The item highlighted in the upper half of the windowusually the most recently deleted itemis displayed in the lower portion of the window, as shown in Figure 14.12.

3. To undelete the item, drag the note icon on the left side of the selected item in the upper half of the window to the appropriate folder in the Outlook Bar (in this case, the Notes folder). Click the Notes folder again. The IDSK note has been restored.
