This tutorial will show you how to use the trash manager on your Joomla site.
Tutorial Text
In this tutorial we will be exploring the Joomla Trash Manager. When you remove a content or menu item it goes to the trash manager instead of being directly deleted.
If you get rid of content a lot, you will want to keep an eye on the trash manager to keep your database from getting too large.
Navigate to Site >> Trash Manager
The trash manager is split into two categories, Content Items and Menu Items.
Select the Example FAQ Item 1 content item. We will Restore this to it's original location.
You will get a confirmation screen letting you know which items are being affected and what will happen to them. Click the Restore button to continue.
You will now get a pop-up confirming you want to Restore them. Click Ok.
Now let's select the Content Title item and Delete it.
You will get a screen similar to the restore confirmation screen, but explaining that this will permanently delete these items. Click on Delete to continue.
You will get another pop-up. Click OK to continue.
You will get a message that the items have been deleted.
