| ==What is the recycle bin?==
| |
| *The recycle bin allows teachers to retrieve course elements they have mistakenly deleted. It also allows those with relevant category permissions to restore deleted courses.
| |
| *If deleted items are not needed, they are automatically permanently deleted after seven days (or a time specified by the admin.)
| |
| *The recycle bin was the first project funded by the [https://moodleassociation.org/ Moodle Users Association.]
| |
| | |
| ==How is it set up?==
| |
| *The recycle bin is available by default in all courses and categories, but the link in administration block is only visible once something has been deleted.
| |
| *Administrators can turn off the reccyle bin and modify the settings from Administration> Admin tools > Recycle bin. Here they can decide how long an item or a course will remain available until it is permanently deleted.
| |
| | |
| ==How does it work?==
| |
| Below is an example using an assignment within a course. The same process works for deleted courses in categories.
| |
| | |
| 1. Before a course teacher deletes an item, a reminder message appears:

| |
| | |
| 2. If you mistakenly click 'yes', all is not lost. Refresh the page and go to the course admininistration block. The link "Recycle bin" will be visible.

| |
| | |
| 3. Click the link and then click the 'restore' icon to retrieve the assignment or other item you accidentally deleted.
