Restore an item#

  1. Open Trash and check the organization/project scope or filters.
  2. Locate the resource by name and type.
  3. Review its deletion information and dependencies.
  4. Choose Restore where available.
  5. Return to the original project and verify the resource and its dependent workflow.

A restored source connection does not recreate a deleted external database. A restored app still needs valid resource bindings and access. Inspect the actual data and runtime rather than stopping at the restored list entry.

Permanently remove an item#

Use the permanent-removal/purge action only when you intend to make the resource unrecoverable through Trash. Review the confirmation and named scope. A bulk selection can include more than one resource; inspect the selection before confirming.

Different deletion boundaries#

OperationConsequence to check
Delete a dataset/resourceArchives the resource according to its recovery rules
Purge Data on a dataset/entityRemoves rows while retaining its schema/resource; not a Trash recovery mechanism
Delete a projectArchives its workspace and makes its resources inaccessible during that state
Delete an organizationRemoves the organization and its content/backups as described by the confirmation
Delete an accountCan include owned organizations and their backups after the stated confirmation/grace process

Read Backups before irreversible actions. Trash and encrypted backups are different recovery mechanisms and have different authority, content scope, and time limits.

If an item is not listed, confirm its type, ownership, selected organization, deletion date, and whether the original operation was a data purge rather than an archive.
