Overview

Items in the Recycle bin can be accessed and restored by any user who had access to it before it was deleted.

Deleted folders are moved to the Recycle bin. If they're still needed, they can be restored and returned to their original location before deletion.

Restore a folder

Folders are restored from the Recycle bin, which can be done in two ways:

  1. Open the Recycle bin and then open the search bar.

  2. Once you enter a search term, you’ll have the option to search only In Recycle bin 1.

FAQ

What happens to sub-items when a folder/project is restored from the Recycle Bin?

When a folder or project is restored, all its sub-items - including subfolders, subprojects, and tasks - are automatically restored, regardless of when those sub-items were deleted. Items that were deleted separately and prior to the parent’s deletion will also be restored. To avoid restoring unwanted sub-items, ensure they are fully untagged or permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin before restoring the parent folder or project.

Are dependencies between subitems restored?

Dependencies are not restored when deleted subitems are recovered from the Recycle Bin. This is to prevent any potential conflicts in the project timeline, as users may have made changes or added new dependencies after the deletion.
