Use this interactive demo to learn how to recover accidentally deleted records in Salesforce Lightning.

Quick summary

Salesforce Lightning lets you recover deleted records directly from the Recycle Bin, accessible via the App Launcher. In just four steps, admins and users can select and restore any soft-deleted record without data loss.


Steps

  1. Click the App Launcher at the top menu of the dashboard.
  2. Scroll down and select Recycle Bin from the app list.
  3. Choose the records you want to restore by selecting them in the list.
  4. After selecting the records, click the Restore button to recover them.

📌 Why this matters

The Salesforce Lightning Recycle Bin provides a built-in safety net, allowing users and admins to recover deleted records quickly without needing IT intervention or data backups. This self-service restore capability reduces downtime, protects data integrity, and ensures critical CRM data is never permanently lost due to human error. Understanding this workflow is essential for any Salesforce user responsible for managing accounts, contacts, leads, or opportunities.
