How to: Manage deleted items

  • Updated

    ~ minute read

Whether you have phased out a Product, or want to restart an incomplete import, deletions are a good way to keep your Product Hub streamlined. To prevent accidental deletion of important Products, Variants, or Catalogs from the Product Hub, they are first moved to the Trash. Each item in the Trash is held for 30 days, before they are permanently deleted.

Please note:

The actions described in this article require Administrator privileges, and are unavailable on Consumer and Contributor profiles.


Access the Trash

From the Product Hub, select the Admin menu in the top right, then click "Trash".

The Product Hub - several elements are highlighted.

Recover an item

Open the Trash and select the corresponding tab Product, Variant, or Catalog – for the type of item you want to recover.

The Trash page - the section tabs are highlighted.

Find the item you wish to restore in the list, then click "Recover Recover" on the right. Click "OK" in the pop-up dialog to confirm your decision.

Please note:

Deleting a Product also deletes all its Variants, but only individually deleted Variants will show in the "Variants" tab. If a Variant was deleted individually, and later on the Product it belonged to is deleted, the Variant cannot be recovered until the Product has been recovered.

The Trash page - the "Recover" button is highlighted.

Delete items permanently

You can permanently delete items in the trash before the 30-day holding period ends. Open the Trash, click the "Empty Trash" button, then click "OK" in the pop-up dialog to confirm your decision.

Please note:

The "Empty Trash" button clears the entire Trash, regardless of the currently selected tab.

The Trash page - the "Empty Trash" button is highlighted.
