This one-minute video shows what the bin collects, how to <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/help\/How_to_restore_a_deleted_task%3F\">restore a deleted task<\/a> and who is allowed to erase one for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ricycle Bin in PlanFix | Step-by-step Guides\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8OQyuzbR_Sg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you\u2019ll learn: how the recycle bin in Planfix works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where the Recycle bin tab sits in the Tasks section and what it collects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How deleted tasks and deleted task templates are told apart in the list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which details the table shows: task number, name, project, deletion date and who deleted it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to restore or permanently delete items, one by one or in bulk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How long Planfix keeps deleted objects before clearing them automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to restore a deleted task in Planfix, step by step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1. Search before you dig<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a task has vanished from your lists, start with the global account search in the top right corner: anything still in the account turns up there. A task can also be hidden by a filter rather than actually deleted, so it is worth ruling that out first \u2014 see <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/blog\/video\/task-search-in-planfix-how-to-quickly-find-any-task-card\/\">task search in Planfix<\/a>. If the search comes back empty, the object was most likely deleted, and the next place to look is the recycle bin of the matching section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2. Open the Recycle bin in the Tasks section<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the <strong>Tasks<\/strong> section and select <strong>Recycle bin<\/strong> in the left panel. It accumulates both deleted tasks and deleted task templates, and the list tells them apart by color: tasks are shown in black, templates in purple. That matters before you click anything, because restoring a template and restoring a single task are different outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3. Find the right item in the table<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bin is a table, and its columns carry everything you need to identify the item: task number, name, project, the date it was deleted and the employee who deleted it. To search inside the bin, click the column header with the task name and type part of the name. Those last two columns usually end the \u201cwhere did it go\u201d conversation on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4. Restore it, or delete it for good<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Select the task and restore it: it returns to its original section with all comments, settings and related information preserved, so you get the task back rather than an empty shell. Permanent deletion is the other option, and it is deliberately limited \u2014 only the account administrator can delete items from the recycle bin, and nothing erased that way can be restored. Both actions also work in bulk, so a batch of accidentally deleted tasks takes one pass. One more rule to keep in mind: Planfix automatically deletes objects that have stayed in the recycle bin for more than one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deleted a project? Its tasks are still there<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a project is deleted, all of its tasks move to the recycle bin and are stored for one year, exactly like tasks deleted one at a time. There are two ways back: restore the project itself, or open the <strong>Tasks<\/strong> section and restore the tasks you need from the recycle bin in the left panel. Deleting a project is a restricted action in the first place \u2014 only the project\u2019s author or an account administrator can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recycle bins in other Planfix sections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tasks bin is the one most people meet first, but the same safety net runs through the rest of the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deleted files land in the <strong>Recycle bin<\/strong> of <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/documents\/\">document management in Planfix<\/a>. Select the ones you want there and click <strong>Restore<\/strong>: they go back to the folder they were deleted from. The same list has a <strong>Delete<\/strong> button for permanent removal, which cannot be undone. The steps are in the Help Center article on <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/help\/Restoring_a_deleted_document\">restoring a deleted document<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Directories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every directory in <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/features\/directories\/\">Planfix directories<\/a> has its own recycle bin for deleted entries and groups, showing the deletion date and the employee who deleted them; account administrators can restore or permanently delete entries. One caveat is worth knowing before you delete anything here: the entry is removed from all custom fields, and restoring it does not bring those links back. For entries already used elsewhere, archiving is the safer move \u2014 see <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/help\/Deleting_directory_entries\">deleting directory entries<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who it\u2019s for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Account administrators:<\/strong> the only role that can empty the bin, which keeps irreversible deletion out of everyone else\u2019s hands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project managers:<\/strong> a deleted project stays recoverable down to its tasks, so reorganizing is not a one-way door.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Team leads:<\/strong> the deletion date and the name of the person who deleted a task answer most \u201cit disappeared\u201d questions without a support request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support and operations:<\/strong> a restored task keeps its comment history, so a client thread survives a mis-click.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-how-long-does-planfix-keep-deleted-tasks\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>How long does Planfix keep deleted tasks?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One year.

If your team still hesitates to delete anything, open the bin in the Tasks section and look at what is already waiting there \u2014 then set the rule that only admins empty it. <a href=\"https:\/\/planfix.com\/task-management\/\">Task management in Planfix<\/a> keeps that history for a year, with the deletion date and the author of every removal.
