Trash Can

Deleting content sends it to the digital workplace's Trash Can. Once in the Trash Can, the content remains there for 30 days before being permanently deleted. During this 30-day retention period, administrators can recover and restore the content and any nested content to their previous location. This functionality provides a way of recovering content that was accidentally deleted.

The Control Panel's Trash Can.
