      I get lost at step 3, no where on my screen says "Archived" or "Deleted".

        Hi agunn; how are you today?

        You're clicking on the 'Viewed recently' first - right?

        This is what I get when I click on it:

        If you're not seeing this, can you post a screenshot of what you see and/or try another browser to see if it's a browser specific issue?

        Keep us posted!
