About
Kaltura's recycle bin feature allows you to delete entries with an option to restore them later. Not only will the item be restored it to its rightful place, but its original name, tags, details, metadata and functionality will also be restored. The recycle bin can save your admins hours of time, not to mention potentially reduce hassles related to missing files.
There's no limit to the number of items that you can add to the recycle bin.
The Recyclebin module must be enabled for this feature to work.
The instructions below are for Theming users. If you don't have Theming enabled, please refer to our article Recycle bin.
