Deleting a QR code from the main list never removes it immediately — it’s a soft delete. The QR code moves to Trash, where you have 30 days to restore it before it’s gone for good.

​
Deleting from the QR list

1

Open the row's action menu

From /qr/list, click the ··· menu at the end of a QR code’s row and choose Delete.
2

Confirm

A confirmation dialog names the QR code and reads: “Are you sure you want to move it to Trash? It will be permanently deleted after 30 days.” Confirm with Move to Trash.
3

Undo if needed

A toast appears immediately, naming the QR code and confirming it was moved to Trash, with an Undo button right in the toast. Clicking it restores the QR code on the spot — no need to visit the Trash page at all.

Selecting multiple QR codes and using the bulk Delete action works the same way — one confirmation, one toast, one Undo covering the whole batch. See Folders, tags & bulk operations for more on bulk actions.
The Undo toast is the fastest way to recover a QR code you just deleted by mistake. Once it disappears (or you dismiss it), you can still recover the QR code from the Trash page — it just takes a couple more clicks.

​
The Trash page

Visit Trash under QR Codes in the sidebar, or go directly to /qr/trash, to see every QR code you’ve deleted.

A banner at the top states the retention policy plainly: “Items in Trash are permanently deleted after 30 days.” This is a real, enforced limit — once an item passes 30 days in Trash, it’s gone automatically, whether or not you visit this page again. The list supports the same Type, Category, and a Deleted date filter as the main QR list, plus search by name, so you can find a specific deleted QR code in a large trash.

​
Restoring or permanently deleting a single QR code

Open the ··· menu on a Trash row for two options:

  • Restore — brings the QR code back to the main list, active again, with a confirmation dialog first, naming the QR code and confirming: “…from Trash? It will become active again.”
  • Delete Permanently — immediately and irreversibly deletes the QR code. The confirmation dialog is explicit about this:

The permanent-delete confirmation dialog

There is no undo for Delete Permanently — unlike the soft delete from the main list, this confirmation dialog means exactly what it says.

​
Bulk restore and bulk delete

Select multiple rows in Trash with the row checkboxes to bring up the same kind of floating bulk-action bar used on the main QR list, with Restore and Delete Permanently as the two available bulk actions. Each shows the affected count in its dialog title (for example, “Delete Permanently (3)”).

​
Emptying the entire trash

The Empty Trash button in the page header (only shown when Trash isn’t empty) permanently deletes every QR code currently in Trash in one action, after a confirmation dialog. Use this only when you’re certain nothing in Trash is worth keeping — it bypasses the 30-day grace period for everything at once.
  • Folders, tags & bulk operations — the bulk Delete action that sends multiple QR codes to Trash in one step.
  • QR Health Center — surfaces issues across your active QR codes, so you know what’s worth keeping before you empty Trash.
  • Your first QR code — the basics of creating a QR code, for context on what ends up in Trash.
