Recover a deleted padlet

Updated 1 month ago by Rana Wilds

Previously, if a padlet was accidentally deleted, it was instantly purged from our servers, never to be seen again. We've heard your cries of frustration and have implemented a solution!

Recently deleted padlets

If a padlet is deleted it will now appear in the Trashed folder on your dashboard for 30 days.

See how long you have left to restore the padlet by visiting your Trashed folder. The leftover days will be indicated below the padlet thumbnail.

You will only have 30 days to restore your padlet before it is automatically and permanently deleted from our database. Once it is deleted it will be gone for good! Use caution when trashing padlets.

Recover your padlet

On your dashboard, go to your Trashed folder > locate the padlet you want to restore > click on the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) next to the padlet > click Restore.

Visiting a trashed padlet

If you visit a Trashed padlet, you will be directed to the page shown below. The padlet will need to be restored before it can be viewed again.

If you have difficulty locating a padlet that you believe you should still have access to - feel free to use our Contact Us form and let us know the email address associated with your Padlet account, along with the title and/or the URL of your deleted padlet. We will do our best to locate it for you.

FAQs

Can I see Trashed padlets from other users in my Team? Classroom? Padlet for Schools account?
No. The only Trashed padlets you can see are your own.
Who can trash a padlet?
Padlets can be trashed, restored and permanently deleted by the wall owner/creator only! You cannot restore a padlet if the user/account is at its quota of active padlets or if the account's trial has expired.
I have multiple padlets I want to recover from the Trashed folder. Is there an easy way to do this?
Absolutely! Instead of clicking Restore for one padlet at a time you can use a shortcut! Use Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and left click on each padlet you need. A pop-up menu will appear where you can click Restore for all selected padlets.
