Recycle Bin recovery after mass delete
Key Takeaway
By default, mass-deleted records go to the Recycle Bin, and users can restore them for 15 days. Some choices skip the Recycle Bin entirely, so those records can never be recovered.
Mass delete lets an admin remove many records at once from Setup. Whether you can get those records back later depends on the choices you make during the delete and on how much time has passed.
