Trash

Admin → Content → Trash is a recoverable delete for every built-in and custom content type, plus media, comments, and menus. Deleting an item moves it to the trash instead of removing it; it stays out of the site and the public API until it is restored or purged.

Restore#

Restoring an item brings it back with its revisions and relationships intact. If its slug was taken while it sat in the trash, the restore reports the collision explicitly rather than overwriting or silently renaming.

Retention and purge#

• Automatic purge — a per-site retention window drives a daily job that permanently removes anything older than the window.
• Manual purge — administrators can permanently remove a single item immediately.
• Empty trash — administrators can clear the whole trash in one action.
• Referenced media — permanently deleting media that is still used somewhere requires an explicit confirmation first.

Trash, restore, and purge actions are written to the audit log.
