    Trash Settings

    First Time You Delete

    The first time you delete a photo or point, you’ll be asked to choose your preferred deletion method:

    • Move to Trash — Keep deleted items recoverable for 30 days
    • Delete Permanently — Remove items immediately with no recovery option

    Your choice is saved as the default for future deletions, but you can change it anytime in Settings.

    Two Ways to Delete

    Move to Trash (Default) Deleted photos and points go to a Trash folder where they stay for 30 days. You can restore them anytime during that period. After 30 days, they’re automatically removed.

    Delete Permanently Photos and points are removed immediately and cannot be recovered.

    Deleting a Collection

    When you delete an entire collection, your deletion preference applies to all items inside:

    • Move to Trash — The collection is removed, but all photos and points inside are moved to Trash. You can restore them individually to a different collection.
    • Delete Permanently — The collection and all its contents are permanently removed.

    Changing Your Preference

    1. Open Settings (gear icon)
    2. Tap Deletion & Trash Management
    3. Choose your preferred option

    Restoring Deleted Items

    1. Open the points list
    2. Tap the collections filter (bottom-left button)
    3. Select Trash
    4. Swipe right on any item to restore it

    To restore multiple items at once, tap Select, choose the items you want, then tap Restore.

    Items are restored to their original collection. If that collection no longer exists, you’ll be asked to:

    • Pick a Collection — Choose a different collection to restore to
    • Restore to Ad-hoc — Place the item in the default Ad-hoc collection

    Tip: Swipe left to permanently delete an item from Trash.
