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 Type | What's Shown in Trash |
|---|---|
| Blog posts | Blog title (from default locale) |
| Pages | Page title (from default locale) |
| Media files | Original filename |
| Documents | Document 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:
- Select items using the checkboxes.
- Click the Restore button in the toolbar.
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:
- Select items using the checkboxes.
- Click Delete permanently in the toolbar.
- Confirm in the dialog.
To permanently delete all items, click Empty Trash and confirm.
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.
