Recover Deleted Content in Moodle

Did valuable Moodle content disappear? You can often get it back! Learn how to restore deleted assignments, forums, files, and other course materials with these simple steps.

Deleted files, activities, and resources are saved for 14 days in the course’s Recycle Bin and can be restored during that window.

Restore Deleted Content

Select the “More” tab at the top of your course page.
Choose “Recycle bin” from the list. Note: If you do not see the Recycle bin option in your course, there is no content left to be restored.
Click the Restore icon next to any content that you would like to restore back to the course
The restored item will be returned to the bottom of the topic block that it was originally housed in

Note: Deleted topic blocks cannot be restored, only the content within them.
