# Recycle Bin Commands


The **Recycle Bin** tab:

-   Displays a list of Group Policy Objects (GPOs) that have been deleted from the archive.

-   Provides a shortcut menu with commands for managing GPOs and for displaying reports for GPOs.

-   Displays a list of the groups and users who have permission to access a selected GPO.

Right-clicking the **Group Policy Objects** list on this tab displays a shortcut menu, including whichever of the following options are applicable:
