Brief description:

Have you ever wanted your Drupal site to have a trash
bin for content entities, so they wouldn’t be immediately
deleted from the database? There’s a module for that



Module name/project name:

Trash

of Tag1

Versions available: 3.0.3, compatible with Drupal 9,
10, and 11

Security coverage

Test coverage

Number of open issues: 7 open issues, 3 of which are
bugs against the current branch



Usage stats:

1899 sites



Module features and usage

Once the module is installed, you choose which entity
types on your site should use the new trash storage

For all the configured entities, deleting a piece of
content moves it into the new trash storage, along with a
timestamp set for when it went into the trash

You can configure whether or not the trash should be
automatically purged on a periodic basis, and if so how
often that should happen

It seems that there are some entities for which the
Trash module currently excludes its functionality, such as
users, comments, taxonomy terms, and so on. The note in the
code indicates that more testing is needed, so any of our
listeners who wants to trash entities for any of these
types could try out patching the TrashSettingsFormand on a
local copy and provide feedback based on how things work

The ability to restore deleted content is a request
I’ve heard a number of times, so this could be a really
useful module for making Drupal work in ways that certain
teams expect
