Trash and restore

Deleting a page moves it to trash. This is a soft delete: the page leaves your active workspace, but it is not gone forever right away.

If the page has child pages, the whole subtree moves to trash with it. You do not need to delete children one by one.

• The page no longer appears as a normal active page
• Its content and place in your tree are preserved while it remains in trash
• You can restore it or permanently delete it from trash later

See Pages for how pages work in your workspace.

Yuhimo treats a parent page and its descendants as one subtree.

When you delete a parent, its child pages go to trash together with it. This keeps your knowledge tree consistent — you do not end up with orphaned child pages still active while the parent is gone.

Restoring the parent restores that subtree as a unit when possible. If the original parent location is no longer available, Yuhimo places restored pages somewhere valid rather than breaking the tree.

Embedded child-page references in parent content may be updated or handled safely when pages are trashed or restored, so references stay consistent where possible.

See Nested Pages for how parent and child pages are organized.

Trashed pages are kept for 10 days.

During that time, you can restore them or permanently delete them yourself. The trash view may show how many days remain before automatic removal.

After the retention period, pages may be permanently removed. Once permanently removed, they cannot be brought back through trash restore.

Restore brings a trashed page back into your active workspace.

Restore returns the same page — it does not create a duplicate copy. Your page content comes back; this is different from backup restore, which adds recovered content as separate copies.

When you restore a parent page, its subtree is restored with it when possible.

If the original parent is still in trash or otherwise unavailable, Yuhimo restores the page to a safe valid location instead of leaving it in a broken state.

For how nesting affects scoped learning and moves, see Nested Pages.

For full-workspace recovery, see Backups and restore.

Permanent delete is only available for pages already in trash.

It removes the page and its child pages from trash. This action cannot be undone through Yuhimo’s trash UI.

Use permanent delete when you are certain you no longer need the content. If you might need it later, restore the page instead or create a backup before deleting.

Trashed pages are not normal active learning pages. They should not appear in your regular page tree or due queues while they remain in trash.

If a page was part of an active learning or review session and you move it to trash, it may become unavailable in that session. Yuhimo does not keep trashed pages in the normal review flow.

Restoring the page brings back its page content and place in your workspace. Learning scheduling may resume according to the page’s state, but do not expect an in-progress session to pick up exactly where it left off.

See Learning Pages and Session types in Yuhimo for how review flows work with active pages.

Trash actions require an internet connection. You cannot move pages to trash, restore them, or permanently delete them while offline.

Offline mode is read-only and intended for cached active content — not for managing deleted pages.

See Offline mode and Why is offline mode read-only?.

Pages — the core workspace unit.

Nested Pages — parent and child structure.

Where your data is stored — workspace and learning data.

Backups and restore — full-workspace recovery (not trash).

Offline mode — read-only cached access.

Does deleting a parent delete its children?

Yes. Deleting a parent moves the whole subtree to trash. Restoring the parent restores the subtree when possible.

Can I restore only one child page?

You can restore individual trashed pages when they appear separately in trash. If a child was deleted only because its parent was deleted, restoring the parent is usually the way to bring the subtree back together.

How long do deleted pages stay in trash?

10 days. The UI may show how many days remain.

What happens after 10 days?

Pages may be permanently removed automatically after the retention period. They cannot be restored through trash after that.

Why did a page become unavailable in a session?

If the page was moved to trash during a session, it may no longer be available in that flow. Trashed pages are not treated as normal active learning pages.

Can I use trash offline?

No. Trash, restore, and permanent delete require an internet connection. Offline mode is read-only for cached active content.

Is trash the same as a backup?

No. Trash is for recently deleted pages in your workspace. Backups are separate files for recovery and migration. Trash restore returns a deleted page; backup restore adds recovered copies.
