About
The recycle bin lets you delete media entries with the option to restore them later. When restored, the item returns to its original place with the same name, tags, metadata, and settings.
- This feature requires the Recyclebin module to be enabled.
- The recycle bin retention period (how long items stay before permanent deletion) is set by your account admin or Kaltura’s Customer Care team.
