Trash
When you delete a post, it is soft-deleted — moved to the trash rather than permanently removed. This lets you recover posts if you delete them by mistake.
Viewing the trash
Deleted posts are accessible at /trash when logged in. They are listed in reverse order of deletion.
Restoring a post
From the /trash page, use the restore button on any post to move it back to published status.
Permanent deletion
Posts in the trash are permanently deleted once they have been there for 30 days. This happens automatically during the cron run, so the trash purges itself as long as the cron endpoint is being called.
