# Trash Tab

The **"Trash"** tab acts as a temporary holding area for projects you have marked for deletion but haven't permanently removed yet. This gives you a chance to recover projects if you delete them accidentally.

**Accessing the Trash:**

1. Navigate to your **Fater Dashboard**.
2. In the **Left Sidebar**, click on the **"Trash"** tab (🗑️ icon).

**What it Shows:**

* The Main Content Area will display **only the projects that you have previously moved to the trash** from the "My Projects" or "Favourites" tabs.
* Projects are shown using the familiar **Project Card** grid format.
* The **Search Bar** at the top allows you to filter *within* your trashed projects.

**Actions Available in the Trash Tab:**

When viewing projects within the Trash tab, you have specific actions available by hovering over a Project Card:

* **Restore:**
  * **How:** Click the "Restore" button/icon (often an undo arrow ↩️ or similar).
  * **Action:** Moves the project out of the Trash and back into your main "My Projects" list. It will reappear in its original state.
* **Delete Permanently (Single Project):**
  * **How:** Look for a "Delete Permanently" button or potentially a different trash icon indicating final deletion. You will likely be asked to confirm.
  * **Action:** **Permanently removes** this single project and all its associated data from your account. **This action cannot be undone.**

**Emptying the Entire Trash (Flush All):**

If you want to permanently delete *all* projects currently in the Trash tab at once:

1. Make sure you are viewing the **"Trash"** tab.
2. Locate the **`Flush All`** button in the **header bar** above the Main Content Area (top-right).
3. Click the **`Flush All`** button.
4. You will be asked to **confirm** this action due to its irreversible nature.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Permanent Deletion is Irreversible!\
Once a project is permanently deleted (either individually or via "Flush All"), it cannot be recovered. Ensure you no longer need the projects before permanently deleting them.
{% endhint %}

Regularly reviewing and emptying your Trash can help keep your project list organized.
