Easy Tech TutsHow to Restore Deleted Items in ClickUp, Recover & Undo Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Accidental deletions happen, but ClickUp keeps a trash bin that gives you a window to get things back. This guide covers navigating to the Trash panel in your workspace settings, filtering by item type to find what you're looking for, and restoring it before the 30-day countdown to permanent deletion runs out.
01Open workspace settings
Click your profile avatar and launch the Settings menu to access administrative tools.
02Find the Trash node
Scroll down the left management sidebar and click on the dedicated Trash section.
03Filter by item type
Use the top filtering ribbon to separate deleted Tasks, Docs, Lists, Folders, or entire Spaces.
04Search for the missing item
Use the search bar inside the Trash module to locate items by their original title.
05Restore the item
Hover over the targeted row and click the Restore arrow icon to push the item back to its original location.
06Verify the restoration
Check the original Space hierarchy to confirm the item is back where it belongs.
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to recover a deleted item?
ClickUp gives you a 30-day window before items in the trash are automatically and permanently purged.
Can anyone in the workspace restore deleted items?
Access to the global trash bin depends on your workspace role permissions, so recovery may be restricted to certain roles.
Does restoring a task also bring back its subtasks?
Restoring a parent item generally brings its associated content back, though it's worth verifying the full hierarchy after restoration.
What happens after the 30-day window passes?
Items are permanently purged from the system after 30 days, so anything not restored before then can't be recovered.
