The Sitecore Recycle Bin works like the recycle bin on your computer. When you delete something in Sitecore—like a page, folder, image, or document—it moves to the Recycle Bin.
NOTE: The Recycle Bin is tied to your account, meaning that only items that you have deleted in Sitecore will be displayed.
Recycle Bin Page Overview
When you open the Recycle Bin, you’ll see a list of deleted items and a search bar on the right.
You’ll also see a menu with buttons (called the Recycle Bin ribbon) at the top.
What the Recycle Bin Buttons Do
-
Restore – Puts the item back where it was before you deleted it.
-
Delete – Permanently deletes the item.
⚠️ Be careful! You can’t get it back once it’s gone.
-
Empty – Permanently deletes all items in the Recycle Bin.
❌ Do NOT click this. It deletes everything.
-
Refresh – Updates the list of deleted items.
-
Show Versions – Shows different versions of the item (if there are any).
