The Moodle recycle bin

The recycle bin allows course teams with editing permissions to retrieve course elements they have deleted. If deleted Activity/items are not needed, they are automatically permanently deleted after 84 days.

To access the recycle bin:

  • Navigate to your Moodle course.
  • Select the More menu, and select click Recycle bin.
    • If you do not see the Recycle bin, you have no deleted items within the Recycle bin.
    • If you have only just deleted an item and do not see the Recycle bin, please refresh your Moodle page.
