Recycle bin

Deleting in Silvane is safe: binders, lists, decks, folders and cards go to the recycle bin instead of vanishing. In the app the screen is called Recently deleted — find it under Profile → Data & Backups. It's an online surface: you'll need to be signed in and connected to see and restore what's in it.

How it works

• The bin holds more than collections: binders, lists, decks, folders, individual cards, tags and watchlist items all pass through it.
• Deleted items stay in the bin for 30 days, then purge automatically.
• Restore and purge work per deletion batch — deleting a binder is one entry, and restoring it brings its cards back with it (individual cherry-picking inside a batch isn't a thing).
• Purge a batch manually if you want it gone now.

Quotas and the bin

Deleting something frees its quota slot immediately — trash never counts against your limits. The quota check happens on restore instead: if restoring a binder would put a free account over its 3-binder limit, the restore is blocked until you make room (purge or delete something else) or upgrade to Silvane Pro.
