Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

All products and plans

You can use the recycle bin to restore contacts, companies, deals, tickets, products, and custom object records up to 90 days after they were deleted. You can also view when a record was deleted, and which user deleted it.

Users must have Account access and add and edit users permissions to use the recycle bin.

Please note: permanent or GDPR-related deletions will not be held in the recycle bin. They will be permanently deleted immediately for users but may take up to 30 days to be purged from HubSpot in compliance with data privacy laws.
