Restore deleted activities and resources

Restore deleted activities and resources

Why use it?

The Moodle Recycle bin behaves in a similar way to the recycle bin found on Mac / PC devices and allows users to restore delete content from a course. This is especially useful if the wrong item has been deleted.

Content can be restored from the recycle bin for 7 days following deletion.

Viewing the recycle bin and restoring content

Step 1: Navigate to the Moodle course

Step 2: Locate the Recycle bin

From the Moodle quick navigation menu course chose the More drop-down and Recycle bin.

The recycle bin will not display content if there if there is nothing to restore or delete.

Step 3: Restore content

Click the icon in the Restore column next to the item that needs to be restored. Once an item has been restored, it will be located at the bottom of the section it was originally in.
