The Universities of Wisconsin's Kaltura/My Media video management system now provides a "Recycle Bin" feature that allows users to delete video entries with an option to restore them within 30 days of being deleted. Users no longer have to worry about accidentally deleting a video or changing their minds after deleting a video. Not only will the video be restored to its rightful place, but its original name, tags, details, metadata, and functionality will also be restored.
Although the items in the recycle bin are automatically deleted after 30 days, a video can be permanently deleted manually by the media owner.
