When you first delete a document it is moved to the 'trash' until either it is explicitly deleted or it is automatically removed after a set amount of time has passed.
You can set how long documents remain in the trash before being automatically deleted with [`EMPTY_TRASH_DELAY`](configuration.md#EMPTY_TRASH_DELAY), which defaults
to 30 days. Additionally you may configure a directory where deleted files are moved to when they are finally deleted (e.g. the trash is emptied) with
[`PAPERLESS_EMPTY_TRASH_DIR`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_EMPTY_TRASH_DIR). Note that the empty trash directory only stores the original file, the archive file and all database
information is permanently removed once a document is fully deleted.
