Recycle Bin
When any object in the portal (e.g. Entity, field, record, etc.) is deleted, it is moved to the Recycle Bin.
Deleted objects are kept in the Recycle Bin for retrieval in case of error for up to 30 days. All objects in the Recycle Bin can be restored to the portal.
Deleted objects retain their Unique Name ID while they are in the Recycle Bin, which may result in errors when creating new objects (i.e. the system states that the Unique Name ID is currently in use). Deleted objects must be cleared from the Recycle Bin before Unique Name IDs can be reused for new objects.
To restore deleted objects from the recycle bin:
- In the Setup Home page, click Manage > Recycle Bin.
- Search for the object you want to restore to the portal.
- Click Restore.
To clear deleted objects from the recycle bin:
- In the Setup Home page, click Manage > Recycle Bin.
- If you want to clear a single object, search for it and then click Del.
- If you want to clear the entire Recycle Bin, click Empty. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click OK.
