The Network Recycle Bin retains files deleted on the NAS. Within each shared folder, a dedicated folder with the name @Recycle is created after the initial QTS installation. Specify the number of days (1-180) to retain files and the daily time. You can also specify the file extensions to be excluded from the bin. This feature only supports file deletion via Samba, AFP, FTP and File Station.
