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.
- The recycle bin must be enabled by your admin in the Recyclebin module.
- The recycle bin retention period (how long items stay before permanent deletion) is set by your account admin or Kaltura’s Customer Care team.
- The instructions below are for Theming users. If you don't have Theming enabled, please refer to our article Recycle bin.
