The Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin stores deleted records before they are permanently removed. Use it when something was deleted from your workspace and you need to recover it or clear it out for good.

You can find it in Settings → Recycle Bin, under the Team section. It covers the whole workspace picked in the settings window's Team selector, so you do not have to remember which Bluprint something was deleted from.

What Appears Here

The Recycle Bin shows every supported soft-deleted record across the whole workspace:

• Assets — files and links deleted from the Asset Library.
• Asset Folders.
• Thumbnail Projects.
• Ideas.
• Calendar Events.
• Channels.
• Scripts.

Each row shows the item name, item type, the Bluprint it was deleted from, when it was deleted, and how long remains before automatic permanent deletion.

Items expiring within three days get a red badge, and a banner at the top of the list counts how many are about to go.

Find What You Deleted

Four controls above the list help you get to the right item, and the list pages through ten rows at a time.

• Search filters the list by item name.
• Type — one option per item type, each with a count — narrows the list to Assets, Ideas, Scripts, and so on.
• Bluprint narrows the list to items deleted from one Bluprint. It only appears when the bin holds items from more than one.
• Sort offers Recently deleted, Expiring soonest, Name (A–Z), and Type.

Clear filters resets all four at once.

Restore an Item

Click Restore on a row. Bluprint sets the item back to active so it can appear in the normal workspace again.

Restoring is best when the deletion was accidental or when you need to recover content before deciding what to do with it.

Permanently Delete an Item

Click Delete permanently on a row. Bluprint asks for confirmation before removing the record for good.

Use permanent delete only when you are sure the item is no longer needed.

Deleted Assets and Team Storage

Deleting an asset from the Asset Library moves it here — the underlying file is still stored, and still counts against your team's storage allowance.

Storage is only freed when the asset leaves the Recycle Bin: either you permanently delete it, or its 30 days run out.

Clear the Recycle Bin

If the workspace has deleted items, Empty bin permanently deletes everything in it — across every type and every Bluprint, not just what you have filtered to.

This is intentionally destructive. Use it when you are cleaning up old data and do not need to recover anything.

Required Permissions

Team roles control Recycle Bin access:

• recycleBin:view lets a team member view the Recycle Bin.
• recycleBin:restore_permadelete lets a team member restore items, permanently delete one item, or empty the bin.

If a button is disabled or the page is inaccessible, ask a Team owner to review your role.

Common mistakes

Expecting deleted assets to free up storage right away

They do not. A deleted asset keeps its file — and its share of your storage allowance — until it is permanently deleted or expires after 30 days.

Using Empty bin while a filter is on

The filters only change what you are looking at. Empty bin still permanently deletes every item in the bin.

Looking in the wrong workspace

The Recycle Bin is scoped to one team. If something is missing, check the settings window's Team selector — it may have been deleted from a different workspace.
