# Viewing deleted documents in Analyze

You can view limited details for deleted documents so long as the parent dataset has not been removed from OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights. These documents have been scanned and then deleted from the original source , either directly at the source location or through a workbook delete action in OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights.

With the desired list of deleted documents in view, you can review the available details and sort the list by deleted date, by subject or title, or by file size. These actions are performed in the same manner as you would for any document, but with limited options.

To view a list of documents that have been deleted

1. In the primary navigation pane, click Research.

2. From the action menu above the content list, click > View Deleted Documents.

   Deleted Documents displays in the VIEWING box at the top of the filter pane.

To return to the list of all documents

When viewing a list of deleted documents, click EXIT DELETED DOCUMENTS VIEW in the action ribbon.

You can view the list of deleted documents in either grid view or list view. The list view includes the detail pane with only the metadata view. Because the documents have been deleted, you cannot view or download the content, save them to a workspace, or perform any type of analysis.

With the list of deleted documents in view, you can export all or some of the documents to CSV. The metadata fields available for exporting are limited but include additional fields specifically related to deleted documents.

Fields specific to deleted documents that can be exported to CSV

Field | Description
--- | ---
Deleted Date | Defines the date the document was deleted.
Deletion Approved By | Defines the user that approved the deletion of the document.
Deletion Reason | Defines the reason for the deletion provided by the user that requested the deletion.
Deletion Requested By | Defines the user that requested the deletion of the document.

With the list of deleted documents in view, you can use the filter pane or search builder to further refine the list. The criteria in the filter pane is limited to the information that is available for deleted documents. The criteria in the search builder is similarly limited but adds the option to search by "Deleted date". The ability to select grammars in the search builder is not available when refining the deleted documents list.
