Trash Module

The Trash Module implements a Windows/MacOS style trash can model for content deletion, so that deleted content can be restored if desired, or later permanently deleted. Most Drupal websites probably don't implement this module because it is possible to unpublish content so that it is not visible to anonymous visitors, or with one of various access control modules it is possible to restrict access to content so that it is only visible to specific user roles. The Trash Module depends on the Multiversion Module. When used together with modules such as the Workspace Module, the Deploy Module, and Conflict Module (handles content revision conflicts), this suite of modules makes it possible to construct reliable multi-user site content management facilities within a Drupal website deployment.
