Bin. You can view, restore, and permanently delete records in the Org Recycle Bin and your own
Recycle Bin. Use list view functionality to sort and filter to find the records you
need.

Records in the Recycle Bin don’t count against your Salesforce org’s storage usage. There
isn’t a limit on the number of deleted records that the Recycle Bin can hold.
Deleted items remain in the Recycle Bin for 15 days, and during that time users can restore
them. After 15 days, Salesforce schedules these items for permanent deletion from the
Recycle Bin. Salesforce doesn’t guarantee the exact time that the Recycle Bin permanently
deletes these items.
To access the Recycle Bin, from the App Launcher, find and select it, or add it to your
navigation bar. Or, add the Recycle Bin tab for your org in the Lightning App Builder.
Select the Recycle Bin that you want to access (1).
Select the items you want to restore or permanently delete, and click
Restore (2) or Delete (3).
To delete all items in the Org Recycle Bin permanently, click Empty Org
Recycle Bin (4). Then confirm that you want to empty the Recycle Bin.
Note You can have only one empty process running at a time. The processing time varies
depending on the number of records there are in your org’s Recycle Bin. From Setup, in
the Quick Find box, enter View Setup Audit Trail, and then select
View Setup Audit Trail to check the status of completed empty
processes.
