View and recover deleted items within a 30-day recovery period. This includes:

### Tasks

When a task is permanently deleted:

* All associated time entries are permanently deleted
* All attachments and files are permanently deleted
* This action cannot be undone

### Projects

When a project is permanently deleted:

* Associated tasks remain intact since tasks can have multiple or no projects
* Project-specific settings and configurations are removed

### Teams

**Important**: Consider leaving the team instead of deletion

* When leaving a team:
  * The team will no longer appear in your workspace
  * You can rejoin later to access all data
  * Teams with no members become automatically inactive
* When a team is permanently deleted:
  * All team tasks are permanently deleted
  * All associated time entries are permanently deleted

### Customers

**Note**: Customers with associated invoices cannot be deleted

* Alternative: Set customer status as inactive to:
  * Hide them from dropdown options

  * Preserve historical data

## Recoverability

Items in trash can be:

* Recovered within 30 days using the revert icon
* Permanently deleted using the trash icon, which requires confirmation
* Automatically removed after 30 days if no action is taken

⚠️ **Important**: Once an item is permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered. Please ensure you want to permanently delete an item before confirming the action.
Consider using alternatives as recommended above.
