Platform users cannot see/use trashed project or any of its workspace tools, either via the portal, via direct link pasted into browser, or through the pilotcli
Any open workspace tool (Guacamole VM or JupyterHub) will not be accessible again after the current login session expires.
Users currently in the project will be re-directed to a 404 page.
Any favourited files, folders, or collections from a project in the Trash Bin will be removed from the Favourites list on the dashboard.
Projects in the Trash Bin will be removed from the Recently visited list on the dashboard.
Project codes cannot be used again even after a Project has been permanently deleted.
