## What it is

Deleting something by mistake is common, and an instant, final delete turns a slip into lost work. A recently deleted list keeps what you delete for a fixed time, so you can bring it back in one step while that time runs.

When the time is up, the item is removed for good. A clear date for that tells you how long you have, and when your data really goes.

## In Xodia

In Xodia, a project you delete moves to Recently deleted, on the Projects page, for 30 days. Each one shows when it was deleted and when its files go, and Restore brings it back to Projects, unpublished, so you go live again when you're ready.

Only members allowed to delete projects see the list. After 30 days a project's files are removed for good and it can't be restored, though code you pushed to GitHub stays in your repository.
