# View, Restore, and Manage Items in the Recycle Bin in Salesforce Classic

The Recycle Bin contains items that users deleted. Salesforce admins can see all deleted data across the entire org. The Recycle Bin is available in the sidebar on the Home page.

Records in the Recycle Bin don’t count against your org’s storage usage. There isn’t a limit on the number of deleted records that the Recycle Bin can hold.

## View Items in the Recycle Bin

- To view only the items that you deleted, from the Recycle Bin, select **My Recycle** from the View dropdown.
- To view all data that users deleted across the entire org, from the Recycle Bin, select **All Recycle Bin** from the View dropdown.
    
    In Personal Edition, the All Recycle Bin option shows all your deleted items.

## Search for Items in the Recycle Bin

Searches look for matches in the field shown in the Name column of the Recycle Bin, such as Lead Name, Case Number, Contract Number, or Product Name.

Some search features, including stemming and synonyms, aren’t available in the Recycle Bin search.

1. From the Recycle Bin, select **My Recycle Bin** or **All Recycle Bin** from the View dropdown.
    
    When you search from My Recycle Bin, matches are limited to items you deleted.
2. Enter your search terms.
    
    Search terms are treated as separate words with an implied AND between them.
    
    For example, searching for bob jones returns items with “bob” and “jones” together but not “bob smith” whose email address is “bsmith@jones.com.” An implied wildcard is appended to your search terms, so searching for bob can return “bob” or “bobby.”
3. Click **Search**.

## Restore Items from the Recycle Bin

You can restore items from the Recycle Bin up to 15 days after you deleted those items.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-basics-264-0-0-production-enus/d8bf6981-f8ef-4f16-bfbd-c42ed32044eb/images/icon_note.png)

Note Where possible, we changed noninclusive terms to align with our company value of Equality. We maintained certain terms to avoid any effect on customer implementations.

You can restore these items.

- Parent accounts, as specified in the Parent Account field on an account
- Indirect account-contact relationships, as specified on the Related Accounts related list on a contact or the Related Contacts related list on an account
- Parent cases, as specified in the Parent Case field on a case
- Master solutions for translated solutions, as specified in the Master Solution field on a solution
- Managers of contacts, as specified in the Reports To field on a contact
- Products related to assets, as specified in the Product field on an asset
- Opportunities related to quotes, as specified in the Opportunity field on a quote
- All custom lookup relationships
- Most relationship group members on accounts and relationship groups
- Tags
- An article's categories, publication state, and assignments

Note Salesforce only restores lookup relationships that you don’t replace with other relationships. For example, if you restore a product record after its related asset is already related to a different product, then the original asset-product relationship isn’t restored.

- From the Recycle Bin, select the checkbox next to each item that you want to restore and then click **Undelete**.
- To restore all deleted items, from the Recycle Bin, select the checkbox in the column header, and then click **Undelete**.

## Empty the Recycle Bin

You can empty your Recycle Bin or the Recycle Bin for your org. Emptying the Recycle Bin permanently deletes the items in it.

Deleted items remain in the Recycle Bin for 15 days, and during that time users can restore them. After 15 days, Salesforce schedules these items for permanent deletion from the Recycle Bin. Salesforce doesn’t guarantee the exact time that the Recycle Bin permanently deletes these items.

After an item has been permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin, you can’t recover it.

To permanently delete items up to 15 days after they were deleted, from the Recycle Bin, click **Empty your Recycle Bin** or **Empty your organization’s Recycle Bin**.
