Use this interactive demo to learn how to recover deleted records in Salesforce using the Recycle Bin.

Quick summary

In Salesforce, deleted records are stored in the Recycle Bin, which is accessible directly from the App Launcher. Navigating to the Recycle Bin lets you view and manage all records removed from your workspace before they are permanently purged.


Steps

  1. Click the App Launcher icon at the top of the Salesforce dashboard to open the app menu.
  2. Scroll down in the App Launcher and select Recycle Bin from the list of available options.
  3. Review the Recycle Bin to view all deleted records from your Salesforce workspace.

📌 Why this matters

Salesforce stores deleted CRM records in the Recycle Bin, giving administrators and users a safety net to recover accidentally removed data before it is permanently lost. Knowing how to access the Recycle Bin via the App Launcher is a critical data management skill for any Salesforce user. This feature prevents costly data loss and supports compliance by ensuring records are not immediately and irreversibly deleted. Teams that master Salesforce record recovery can maintain data integrity across their entire CRM pipeline.
