Right-click on the bid in Bids Tab and choose Delete (or select the bid and click the delete button
or press the delete key on your keyboard) -
You will notice a Deleted Bids folder in your bids list with the deleted bid directly beneath the folder name
-
To empty the deleted bids folder, right-click on the Deleted Bids folder and select Empty Deleted Bids Folder
-
Click
in the dialog that appears to complete the action
To Restore a Deleted Bid:
If you have deleted a bid, you may be able to restore it from the Deleted Bids folder
To restore a bid from the Deleted Bids folder, expand the folder by clicking the small plus sign 
to the left of Deleted Bids (your exact screen may differ slightly depending on the application you are using).
Locate the bid you would like to restore from the Deleted Bids folder and right-click on it:
Select Restore Bid
The bid will be moved back to its original location.

If you delete an Alternate or a Change Order (without deleting the entire bid), it is immediate and permanently deleted – you cannot restore Alternates or Change Orders separate from the Base Bid. |
