Trash and restoring deleted items
When you delete a record, table, custom page, or workflow, it goes to the app’s Trash first, so you can restore it if you change your mind.
Open the Trash
In the app sidebar, click Administration → Trash.
The Trash has four tabs:
- Records
- Tables
- Custom Pages
- Proto Workflows
Columns and views aren’t listed in the Trash. Before deleting a column, take a snapshot so you can recover it.
Use Search by table name… and Filter to find an item.
Restore an item
Find the item in the right tab and click the Restore record button (↶) at the end of its row. It goes back to where it was. The bin icon next to it deletes the item permanently.
Each row shows the item, the Table it came from, who deleted it (Deleted by), and when (Deleted).
Things to know
- Items stay in the Trash for 30 days, then they’re deleted permanently. Restore anything you need before then.
- Items in the Trash still count toward data retention (storage) until they are permanently purged. See Pricing.
- Clear App Data (App Settings → General → Danger Zone) removes all records permanently. They don’t go to the Trash.
- Whether a user can see the Trash depends on the Trash permission in their app role.
