How to Undo a Record Deletion in Salesforce Lightning Experience

Date de publication: May 6, 2026
Description

n Salesforce Lightning Experience, users have the ability to undo a record deletion immediately after the deletion occurs. This feature helps prevent accidental data loss.
When a record is deleted in Lightning Experience, a popup notification appears with an Undo link. Clicking this link immediately restores the record. For example:

  1. Open an Opportunity record in Salesforce Lightning Experience.
  2. Click the Delete button.
  3. A confirmation message appears: "Are you sure you want to delete this opportunity?"
  4. Click Delete to confirm.
  5. A popup notification appears confirming the Opportunity was deleted, along with an Undo link to reverse the deletion.

Note: This Undo feature is only available in Salesforce Lightning Experience. It is not available in Salesforce Classic.

Résolution

 If the Undo link is not used in time, deleted records can be recovered from the Salesforce Recycle Bin.

  • Salesforce Classic: The Recycle Bin is located on the Home Page in the bottom-left corner.
  • Salesforce Lightning Experience: Access the Recycle Bin via the App Launcher by searching for "Recycle Bin."

Note: If the Recycle Bin is not available under App Launcher in Lightning Experience, log a case with Salesforce Support to have it enabled.
Records remain in the Recycle Bin for 15 days (or until the org's storage capacity forces an earlier purge). After this period, records are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered through the Recycle Bin.
