In this article you'll learn how to delete a candidate profile and interact with the recycle bin. The Candidate Recycle Bin provides a powerful tool for restoring candidate profile that were deleted and allows users the ability to permanently delete profiles that are no longer needed within your database. When the Delete option is selected for a candidate profile, the candidate's data is moved into the recycle bin. This tool allows users to access, review, and restore or permanently delete those deleted candidate profiles. Accidental profile deletions can be corrected immediately to allow the users to continue working within the candidate's data.
