Use this interactive demo to learn how to permanently delete pages from your Notion Trash.

Quick summary

Clearing Notion Trash lets you permanently delete unwanted pages and projects to keep your workspace clean. This walkthrough shows you exactly how to access Trash from the sidebar and remove files for good.


Steps

  1. Open Notion and scroll down the left sidebar, then click Trash.
  2. Review the list of deleted pages and projects that appear in the Trash view.
  3. Click the trash icon next to a file to permanently remove it from Notion.
  4. Repeat the process until you have cleared out all the deleted pages you want to remove from Trash.

📌 Why this matters

Permanently clearing Notion Trash ensures deleted pages and projects are fully removed from your workspace, freeing up clutter and protecting sensitive content from accidental recovery. Without explicitly emptying the Trash, deleted Notion pages remain recoverable and continue to occupy space in your sidebar. This feature is essential for teams and individuals who need a clean, organized Notion workspace with confident control over their data lifecycle.
