Understanding the Two Stages of the Recycle Bin
As in SharePoint 2007, the Recycle Bin functionality in SharePoint 2010 remains the same: two staged. When an item is deleted, it goes through both Recycle Bins before being deleted completely from the database.
The first Recycle Bin, as shown in Figure 10.1, is at the site level. This Recycle Bin is available and managed by the end users of the site. To restore deleted items from the Recycle Bin, the end user can navigate to the Recycle Bin from the Quick Launch (left navigation in SharePoint), select the deleted items to restore, and click Restore Selection. This action restores the deleted items in their original locations.
