Trash & Restore
A 30-day safety net for deleted transactions, with three exceptions.
Updated
Why Deleted Transactions Go Here
Accidental taps happen, bulk edits go sideways, and a slip of the finger should not cost you data you spent time recording. So a deleted transaction moves to Recently Deleted and waits.
While it is there it is excluded from totals, budgets, charts and reports - it behaves as if it is gone. Restoring puts it back exactly where it was, with the same details it had.
Only transactions land here
Deleting an account or a goal removes it permanently. Budgets, bills and income sources are archived rather than trashed, which is a separate and fully reversible thing - so none of those appear in Recently Deleted.
What Does and Does Not Land Here
| Transaction came from | Deleted on its own | Deleted in a multi-select |
|---|---|---|
| You added it | Recoverable | Recoverable |
| Synced from a bank | Recoverable | Permanent |
| A CSV import | Permanent | Permanent |
So if you are clearing out a batch of synced or imported transactions, treat it as final and check the selection first. See Bulk Editing.
Restoring a Transaction
- Open Settings → Data & Privacy → Recently Deleted.
- Find the transaction. Each row shows when it was deleted and a short summary.
- Tap Restore.
It returns to its original location with all its details intact, reappears in its account’s transaction list, and is counted in budgets and totals again.
Permanent Delete
From the same card you can permanently delete individual transactions, or use Empty Trash to clear the list entirely.
Watch out
Permanent deletion is final. There is no further undo and the data is removed from our systems. If you have any doubt, leave the transaction where it is - there is nothing to gain by clearing it early, and it will go on its own.
Retention
Deleted transactions are kept for 30 days, then removed automatically by a daily purge. That window gives you time to recover a mistake without letting trashed data pile up indefinitely.
After 30 days it is gone for good, so it is worth a quick scan of the list whenever you have done a large cleanup.
Recovering From a Bulk Mistake
Tip
If you bulk-deleted a batch by accident, go straight to Recently Deleted and restore each affected transaction. Your spending totals, budgets and charts recompute as they return, so there is nothing to re-enter by hand.
Do it before you do anything else - the ones that were synced or imported will not be there, and knowing which are missing is easier while you still remember what you selected.
