Filter on Recycle bin Search

Brass Contributor

Hi,

 

Is there some sort of filter or search in the recycle bin to find a spesific deleted document, user deleted a document but can't remember the date and time, only parts of the name but browsed through the recycle bin but no luck.

 

Thanks.

Unfortunately no...the only way to do something like waht you need is by means of a custom PowerShell Script / Code

Thanks for the update.

 

Is there a public script available or should I write one myself and share it?

 

Thanks.

Ugh.. 2022 and we're still having to scroll through the haystack looking for a needle.
