Need to strip unique name form Recycle Bin

Any thoughts anyone - files come in, have some work - and a preflight, and are then dropped into a "Recycle Bin" - to be auto deleted after a week (hence why I'm not just using a Pitstop Hot Folder, I know that the CSRs will fill it up with rubbish - and we all know, they NEVER delete) - the recycle bin is mapped to a set shared folder, giving the CSRs access to their files for a few days.

I tried a rename - both on Filename Proper and complete file name, stripping off the first 7 chars, but as the unique name is hidden, that won't work. So then I tried an Archive hierarchy, but I can't then pass onto a Recycle Bin...

Am I being dense...?

Clive, can't you create a user managed folder and set its “strip unique name” property == Yes ?

You'd think that Dwight - but it seems that those properties are context sensitive...

As soon as I link it into the flow - I lose that option... I thought I could cheat it by Copying the values when I first place the element (unconnected) and paste back in afterwards, alas, no joy...

Neither does a "Set Hierarchy Path" - perhaps I can approach a different way - it's the timed auto delete of the recycle bin I need...

Can you share your flow so I can understand the issue?

I can't see a share option here, so I'll upload it to my FTP Dwight...

I'll PM you the address.
