Recycle Bin

After a record is deleted in Kahua, it will appear in the Recycle Bin application. A domain administrator can restore records from the Recycle Bin or permanently delete them.

The Recycle Bin is a domain level application. You do not need to be in a specific project to recover records from that project. Only users with appropriate permissions to the Recycle Bin can restore items or permanently delete them from Kahua. 

IMPORTANT: After a record has been permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin, Kahua cannot retrieve the content.
