Hello TMR1, as an admin, you can prevent team members from permanently deleting content by turning the Permanent delete setting off. You can do this by going to the Admin Console > Settings > Content > Deletion > toggle Permanent delete to off. 

 

Here's more information on this setting in our Help Center - let us know if this resolves this issue. Thank you!
