Recycle content
Description
When Content Items, Sections, or Categories are marked as inactive, they are stored in "Recycle Content" and remain there until the Administrator takes action to purge or re-activate them.
When Content Items and Sections are purged they are deleted permanently and cannot be recovered.
If Sections and Content Items have not been purged, the Administrator can restore Sections and content to an “Approved” status. Categories and Media Items cannot be restored.
To access Recycle Content, go to Content > Recycle Content. The Section is divided into three areas:
- Inactive content: Content that has a status of Inactive.
- Inactive Sections: Sections that have a status of Inactive and deleted Media Categories
- Orphaned content: Content that existed within a Section that was purged.

To permanently remove any items of content, place a check in the box beside the content and click the Purge content button. You can Select all items by checking the box located in the header row.
