# Trash

![trash](/images/Administration/Trash/trash.png)


The Trash page serves as a centralized recovery area for all items deleted anywhere in Infoveave. Whenever a connection, a Datasource, a query, a workflow, or any other data asset is removed, it is moved here and retained for a configurable retention days. During that retention window, you may either:

- **Restore** an item. This returns it to its original workspace with all settings intact.  
- **Permanently delete** an item. This removes it irrevocably before the retention period expires.  

Items that are not restored or manually purged by the end of the retention period are automatically and permanently deleted. This mechanism ensures that accidental deletions can be quickly undone while still allowing you to enforce a robust data retention policy.
