Viewing Deleted Components

To access the Deleted Package Components page, from Setup, click Create | Packages, select the package the component was uploaded to, then click View Deleted Components. You can retrieve components from the Recycle Bin and Deleted Package Components page any time before uploading a new version of the package. To do this, click Undelete next to the component.

After a package is uploaded with a component marked for deletion, it is deleted forever.

Although a component is deleted, its Name remains within Salesforce. You can never create another component with the same name. The Deleted Package Components page lists which names can no longer be used.

Warning

To access the Deleted Package Components page, from Setup, click Create | Packages, select the package the component was uploaded to, then click View Deleted Components. If a component can be retrieved through the Recycle Bin, it can also be retrieved through this page. You can retrieve the following types of components from here:
  • Apex classes and triggers that don't have global access.
  • Custom tabs.
  • Visualforce components with public access.
  • Protected components, including:
    • Custom labels
    • Custom links (for Home page only)
    • Workflow alerts
    • Workflow field updates
    • Workflow outbound messages
    • Workflow tasks
    • Workflow flow triggers

      Flow trigger workflow actions, formerly available in a pilot program, have been superseded by the Process Builder. Organizations that are using flow trigger workflow actions may continue to create and edit them, but flow trigger workflow actions aren��t available for new organizations. For information on enabling the Process Builder in your organization, contact Salesforce.

  • Data components, such as Documents, Dashboards, and Reports. These are the only types of components that can also be undeleted from the Recycle Bin.
You can retrieve components from the Recycle Bin and Deleted Package Components page any time before uploading a new version of the package. To do this, click Undelete next to the component.
