Recycle Bin
Overview
The Recycle Bin is a valuable feature of Oqtane, especially for new users and administrators who might assume that deleted content is permanently gone. Instead of recreating deleted items, the Recycle Bin allows you to restore content, saving time and reducing frustration.
The Recycle Bin manages two types of objects that can be restored: Pages and Modules. When you delete a page or a module, it appears in the corresponding list. You can switch between these lists by clicking the tabs at the top of the page.

Each entry includes two buttons:

Modules Tab
Similar to the Pages tab, the Modules tab displays a list of deleted modules with the same information as above. It also includes the same restore and delete functionality.
Manage Deleted Items
At the bottom of each tab, there are additional buttons:
- Remove All Deleted Pages: This button allows you to permanently delete all pages listed in the Recycle Bin. A confirmation window will appear before finalizing this action.
- Delete All Deleted Modules: This button serves the same purpose for modules, allowing you to permanently delete all modules from the Recycle Bin, accompanied by a confirmation window.
