# Manage Trash Projects, dataset versions, and workflows can all be moved to the workspace **Trash**, where they are retained for 30 days before being permanently cleaned up. Within the retention window you can restore them back to the workspace. Any in-flight training jobs associated with a project or version are cancelled automatically when it is moved to Trash, so you don't continue spending credits on an item you're deleting. ## Delete a Project Move a project to Trash: ```bash roboflow project delete / ``` Example: ```bash roboflow project delete my-workspace/my-detector ``` The command prompts for confirmation before moving the project. Pass `--yes` (or `-y`) to skip the prompt for scripted use: ```bash roboflow project delete my-workspace/my-detector --yes ``` ## Restore a Project ```bash roboflow project restore / ``` Example: ```bash roboflow project restore my-workspace/my-detector ``` The CLI looks the project up in the workspace Trash by its slug and restores it. If the project isn't currently in Trash, the command exits with an error. ## Delete a Version Move a single dataset version to Trash. Any in-flight training on the version is cancelled. ```bash roboflow version delete // ``` Example: ```bash roboflow version delete my-workspace/my-detector/3 ``` Pass `--yes` to skip confirmation. ## Restore a Version ```bash roboflow version restore // ``` Example: ```bash roboflow version restore my-workspace/my-detector/3 ``` The parent project must still be active (not itself in Trash) — restore the project first if necessary. ## Delete a Workflow Move a workflow to Trash: ```bash roboflow workflow delete ``` Example: ```bash roboflow workflow delete slow-webhooks ``` Pass `--yes` (or `-y`) to skip the confirmation prompt. You can pass either the workflow URL slug or its Firestore id. ## Restore a Workflow ```bash roboflow workflow restore ``` Example: ```bash roboflow workflow restore slow-webhooks ``` ## List Items in Trash List everything currently in the workspace Trash: ```bash roboflow trash list ``` ``` TYPE ID NAME DELETED CLEANUP_AT BY dataset d_abc123 My Detector 2026-04-20 2026-05-20 Alice version 3 My Detector — augmented-416 (v3) 2026-04-21 2026-05-21 Bob workflow wf_def456 Preprocessing Pipeline 2026-04-19 2026-05-19 Alice ``` For structured output suitable for scripting: ```bash roboflow --json trash list ``` ## Permanent Deletion Permanent deletion is intentionally not available from the CLI or SDK — emptying Trash and immediately deleting a single Trash item destroy data irrecoverably, and we don't want a stray script or typo to be able to trigger them. These actions are available only through the Trash view in the Roboflow web app, which has an explicit confirmation dialog. Items left in Trash are cleaned up automatically after the 30-day retention window, so you rarely need to act on them manually. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
