Recover deleted coloring pages from the trash

When you delete a coloring page, it moves to the trash instead of disappearing forever. You can restore trashed pages back to your dashboard or permanently delete them when you're sure you don't need them.

What the trash does

The trash holds every coloring page you've deleted. Pages stay in the trash until you choose to restore or permanently delete them. There's no automatic expiration, so you won't lose anything by waiting.

While a page is in the trash, it won't show up in your dashboard, folders, or search results. It's out of the way but still recoverable.

How to recover a deleted page

Restoring a page takes one click from the trash.

  1. Open the trash by clicking the trash icon in the left sidebar

  2. Find the page you want to recover

  3. Hover over the page and click the restore icon (curved arrow)

  4. Page restored - it moves back to your dashboard immediately

You'll see a confirmation message with a link to view your dashboard where the restored page now lives.

How to recover multiple pages at once

You can restore several pages in one go using bulk selection.

  1. Open the trash from the sidebar

  2. Select pages by clicking the checkbox on each page you want to restore

  3. Click "Restore" in the toolbar that appears at the top

  4. All selected pages restored - they return to your dashboard together

This is handy when you accidentally deleted a batch of pages or want to recover an entire set.

How to permanently delete pages

If you're sure you don't need a page, you can remove it for good.

  1. Open the trash from the sidebar

  2. Hover over the page and click the delete icon

  3. Confirm the deletion in the dialog that appears

  4. Page permanently deleted - the image and all data are removed

Permanent deletion cannot be undone. The page, its image file, and all associated data are removed completely.

How to empty the entire trash

To clear out everything at once:

  1. Open the trash from the sidebar

  2. Click "Empty trash" at the top of the page

  3. Confirm in the dialog - it shows how many pages will be deleted

  4. All trashed pages permanently deleted

This is useful for freeing up space after a big cleanup, but make sure you don't need any of those pages first.

Where to find the trash

Sidebar icon - click the trash icon in the left navigation menu. It's available from anywhere in the app.

Direct URL - go to app.colorbliss.com/dashboard/trash anytime.

The trash page works just like your main dashboard. You can browse pages in a grid, select multiple items, and take actions in bulk.

What the trash doesn't do

Trash doesn't auto-delete pages - pages stay in the trash indefinitely until you take action.

Trash doesn't count toward any limits - trashed pages don't affect your account in any way while they sit in the trash.

Permanent deletion can't be reversed - once you permanently delete or empty the trash, those pages are gone. There's no second trash or recovery after that point.

Tips

Think of trash as a staging area

Get in the habit of moving pages to trash first, then doing a periodic cleanup. This gives you a safety net without cluttering your dashboard.

Check trash before emptying

Quickly scroll through your trashed pages before hitting "Empty trash." It only takes a few seconds and can save you from losing something you still need.

Use bulk selection for big cleanups

If you have dozens of trashed pages, use the checkboxes and bulk actions instead of deleting one at a time. Select everything you want gone, then permanently delete in one action.
