Recycle bin in CRM

The CRM Recycle Bin is a temporary storage for deleted deals, contacts, companies, and other items. It helps to:

  • Restore accidentally deleted information
  • Free up space by permanently deleting unnecessary records
Check if Recycle Bin is available on your plans.

The Bitrix24 administrator views all deleted items in the CRM Recycle Bin. Employees only see the items they deleted.

Items are stored in the Recycle Bin for 30 days. Then they are automatically deleted at a rate of 100 items per day. If more items are deleted in a day, the storage period will increase.

In this article:

Go to the CRM section > More > Recycle Bin.


Send items to the Recycle Bin

The Recycle Bin contains information about the deletion of the following items:

  • Lead
  • Deal
  • Contact
  • Company
  • Activity
  • Invoice
  • SPA element

If necessary, you can disable the Recycle Bin for certain CRM items:

  1. Go to the More tab > Settings > CRM Settings.
  2. Select Other > Other settings.
  3. Open to the Recycle Bin tab. Choose which items will go to the Recycle Bin and click Apply.

Find items in the CRM Recycle Bin

Configure the list

To quickly find the necessary items in the Recycle Bin, choose which fields to display in the list and set up filters.

  1. Go to Settings (⚙️) in the upper left corner.
  2. Check the fields you want to see in the list.
  3. If you are a Bitrix24 administrator, select For all — the fields will be displayed for all employees.
  4. Click Apply.

The Default button will reset all field view settings to standard. All fields will be visible.


Configure filters

Filters help you quickly find the necessary data. For example, items deleted this month.

ID. This is the unique identifier of a CRM item. Specify a specific ID to check if an item is in the Recycle Bin.

Find the item ID

Go to the CRM section and select the item, such as a deal or a contact. You will see its number in the page URL. For example, https://b24-abc.bitrix24.com/crm/deal/details/123/, where 123 is the deal ID.

Deletion time. Choose an option from the list.

User. Specify the employee who deleted the item.

Type. Choose the item type: lead, contact, company, deal, activity, invoice, or SPA.


Recover or delete an item from the CRM Recycle Bin

Recover an item

Click Menu (≡) > Restore next to the item.

When the CRM item is restored, you will see a notification about it.

The restored item will have a new ID, so it cannot be opened using the previous link.

If an activity is linked to a deleted CRM item, you should first recover the item itself.


Delete an item

Only a Bitrix24 administrator can delete an item from the Recycle Bin.

  1. Click Menu (≡) > Delete.
  2. Select Continue.
