    Note
    
    Messages deleted by the administrator in the Command Center are not visible by the end user in the Web Console, but messages deleted by the end user can be viewed by the administrator by selecting Include deleted items and are marked with a icon.

The delete operation deletes the messages or the folder permanently.
You cannot view deleted items from the Command Center or the CommCell Console.
