Restoration of Salesforce List Views After Deletion

Why List Views Cannot Be Restored

Salesforce does not currently support restoring a deleted List View. The Recycle Bin is limited to standard data records and does not capture List View definitions, filter criteria, or sharing settings. Once a List View is deleted, its configuration is permanently lost.
Vote for the Idea Exchange request Put Deleted List Views in the Recycle Bin to support this feature in a future release.

How to Recreate a Deleted List View

To recreate a deleted List View, create a new List View on the same object and re-apply the filters, columns, and sharing settings from memory or from a screenshot.
In Lightning Experience:

1. Click any object tab (e.g., Accounts)
2. Click the List View dropdown (the icon next to the current view name)
3. Click New to create a new List View
4. Enter a name and configure sharing settings
5. Add the required filters and select the columns to display
6. Click Save

In Salesforce Classic:

1. Click any object tab
2. Click Create New View (if available) or select Edit on an existing similar view as a starting point
3. Set the view name, filters, and columns
4. Click Save
