How to permanently delete content on T4

This guide will walk you through the steps on how to permanently delete content and move it into the main recycle bin.

How to permanently delete a content item or a section

There are several methods for deleting a content item and section. We've demonstrated these methods in a video walkthrough and a detailed step-by-step guide. Once an item is deleted and added to the main recycle bin, it will be permanently removed and cannot be recovered.

Here are some of the most effective ways.
  • To delete a page and its contents, simply set the section to inactive and move it to the recycle bin.
  • To delete individual content items, set the content items to inactive and move them to the recycle bin.
