Use this interactive demo to learn how to recover a deleted field in Salesforce in minutes.

Quick summary

Salesforce admins can restore deleted fields without data loss by navigating to Object Manager and using the Deleted Fields view to undelete them. This step-by-step process requires only standard Setup access and takes under two minutes to complete.


Steps

  1. Click the gear icon at the top-right menu of the Salesforce dashboard to open setup options.
  2. Select Open Advanced Setup from the dropdown menu.
  3. Go to Object Manager and choose the object whose deleted field you want to restore.
  4. Click Fields & Relationships in the left-hand sidebar of the selected object.
  5. Navigate to the top-right menu of the fields view and click Deleted Fields.
  6. Select the deleted field you want to restore and click Undelete in its actions menu.
  7. Click OK to confirm and complete the field restoration.

📌 Why this matters

Accidentally deleting a custom field in Salesforce can disrupt workflows, reporting, and data integrity across your org. Salesforce provides a built-in field recovery mechanism that lets admins undelete fields within 15 days before they are permanently erased. Understanding how to restore deleted fields using the Object Manager and Deleted Fields view prevents costly data loss and reduces dependence on Salesforce support tickets. This capability is essential for any Salesforce admin managing complex CRM configurations.
