Trash

The Trash view shows all soft-deleted content across your site. Deleted items are recoverable for 30 days before they are automatically purged.

What Goes to Trash

When you delete any of these content types, they are moved to Trash instead of being permanently removed:

Content TypeWhat's Shown in Trash
Blog postsBlog title (from default locale)
PagesPage title (from default locale)
Media filesOriginal filename
DocumentsDocument title (from default locale), or filename

Accessing Trash

Navigate to Trash in the sidebar. The sidebar icon shows a badge with the number of items currently in Trash.

Restoring Items

To restore a single item, click the Restore icon in the item's row. The item reappears in its original list (blogs, pages, media, or documents).

To restore multiple items:

  1. Select items using the checkboxes.
  2. Click the Restore button in the toolbar.
tip

Restoring a media file brings back the database record and makes the file accessible again at its original URL. Storage files are preserved during soft-delete.

Permanent Deletion

Permanent deletion is irreversible and requires Admin or Owner role.

To permanently delete a single item, click the Delete permanently icon and confirm.

To permanently delete multiple items:

  1. Select items using the checkboxes.
  2. Click Delete permanently in the toolbar.
  3. Confirm in the dialog.

To permanently delete all items, click Empty Trash and confirm.

caution

Permanent deletion of media files also removes the original file and all generated variants from storage. This cannot be undone.

Auto-Purge

Items in Trash are automatically purged after 30 days. Each item shows a countdown badge indicating how many days remain before auto-purge.
