# Manage the Recycle Bin in Lightning Experience

As an admin, you have access to your own Recycle Bin and the Salesforce org’s Recycle Bin. You can view, restore, and permanently delete records in the Org Recycle Bin and your own Recycle Bin. Use list view functionality to sort and filter to find the records you need.

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

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.

1. To access the Recycle Bin, from the App Launcher, find and select it, or add it to your navigation bar. Or, add the Recycle Bin tab for your org in the Lightning App Builder.

2. Select the Recycle Bin that you want to access (1).

3. Select the items you want to restore or permanently delete, and click **Restore** (2) or **Delete** (3).
4. To delete all items in the Org Recycle Bin permanently, click **Empty Org Recycle Bin** (4). Then confirm that you want to empty the Recycle Bin.

    Note You can have only one empty process running at a time. The processing time varies depending on the number of records there are in your org’s Recycle Bin. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter View Setup Audit Trail, and then select **View Setup Audit Trail** to check the status of completed empty processes.
