Recycle Bin

A 30-day holding area with Restore and Permanent Delete. Note: deletions in the admin are not sent to the Recycle Bin yet, so hide or disable items you may need again.

Quick start

What it does. Deleted products, categories, pages and blog posts go to a recycle bin first, so you can bring them back.

Who can use it

  • Off until you switch it on.
  • Your plan decides whether you can use it. The module card in Settings → Modules shows Not in your plan (with See plans) or Paid add-on (with Buy add-on) when it is not included. The features list shows which plans include it.

Switch it on

  1. In your admin, open Settings → Modules.
  2. Find Recycle Bin. If it is on the Installed tab, click Enable; if not, open the Browse tab and click Install.
  3. Click Configure to change any setting below (the defaults work for most stores).

Switching it off later stops it working but keeps its data, so switching it back on picks up where you left off.

Where to find it

  • Settings → Recycle Bin

Settings

  • Retention Days — Days to keep deleted items before they can no longer be restored (0 = keep until you remove them). Default: 30.
  • Auto-purge — Remove expired items for good automatically, the next time something is deleted. Default: off.
