93 days
How long are deleted items kept in the Recycle Bin? In SharePoint in Microsoft 365, items are retained for 93 days from the time you delete them from their original location. They stay in the site Recycle Bin the entire time, unless someone deletes them from there or empties that Recycle Bin.
What happens to deleted items in SharePoint site collection?
A SharePoint site collection administrator can view and restore deleted items from the site collection Recycle Bin to their original locations. If an item is deleted from the site collection Recycle Bin, or it exceeds the retention time, it is permanently deleted.
Where do files go when you delete them from SharePoint?
When you delete items (including OneDrive files) from a SharePoint site, they’re sent to the site Recycle Bin (also called the first-stage Recycle Bin), where you can restore them if you need to. When you delete items from a site Recycle Bin, they’re sent to the site collection Recycle Bin (also called the second-stage Recycle Bin).
The SharePoint site recycle bin isn’t the same as the Windows recycle bin that you see on your desktop. While items are in the site recycle bin, you can restore items you deleted to their original location. If you’re using SharePoint in Microsoft 365, you can even view and restore items that were deleted by someone else,
If you restore an item that was originally located in a deleted folder, the folder is recreated in its original location and the item is restored in that folder. If you’re a global admin or SharePoint admin in Microsoft 365, you can also restore entire site collections from the site collection Recycle Bin.
