Recycle Bin contains soft-deleted records that can be restored. This protects operations from accidental deletion and allows administrators to recover data without manual database work.

Notes & best practices
Restoring a record typically restores its relationships where possible (e.g., category hierarchy), but behavior depends on your configuration.
Use Recycle Bin instead of re-creating records to preserve historical links and reports.
