How do I tell if a document type is in recycle bin?
Hi

I have a problem, I am calling back all documents with a particular document type using the following code:
```
  DocumentType dt = DocumentType.GetByAlias("CiderMakerCountry");
            Content[] ciderMakerCountries = Document.getContentOfContentType(dt);
```
This works fine and rings back ALL documents, unfortunately is also appears to bring back those in the recycle bin.

Due to an error with umbraco I cannot delete anything out of the recycle bin.

So my question is, how do I tell if a document type is in the recycle bin in code?

Thanks

Bex,

Check the path of your content, if it starts with -20, than it's a document which resides in the recycle bin.

Cheers,

Hi,

Not sure which in version of Umbraco it was added, but there's also a .IsTrashed property on the Document object.
```
DocumentType dt = DocumentType.GetByAlias("CiderMakerCountry");
Content[] ciderMakerCountries = Document.getContentOfContentType(dt).Where(x => x.IsTrashed == false).ToArray();
```
(wasn't there a .Smells property once or am I imagining that ?)

HTH,

Hendy

The path came back as "-1,-20,1427" but as now I know what I'm looking for I can see that the parentID = -20 so I can use that!

Thanks loads! :)
