Deleted test cases go to the trash bin, giving you a recovery window before anything is permanently removed.
Overview
When you delete a test case, it isn't destroyed immediately. It moves to the repository's trash bin, where it stays until you restore it or permanently delete it.
This protects against accidental deletions, especially bulk operations that can sweep up cases you didn't mean to remove.
What Goes to the Trash
Individual test cases - any single case you delete lands here.
Cases from deleted suites - if you delete an entire suite, the cases inside it move to the trash. The suite structure itself is not preserved.
Other entities (test runs, defects, plans) are not sent to the trash, their deletion is immediate.
Accessing the Trash Bin
Open your project's repository and select ⋯ → Trash Bin from the top-right menu. You'll see a list of all deleted test cases in the project.
Restoring Test Cases
Select one or more cases and choose Restore. Bulk restore is supported.
Restored cases reappear in the repository with their original field values intact.
The restored cases are placed at the project root under "Test cases without a suite." You can then move it to the appropriate suite manually.
Permanent Deletion
To free up space or clean out obsolete cases, select cases in the trash and choose Delete permanently. This action is irreversible.
Important Limitations
Suites cannot be restored from the trash. If you accidentally delete a suite, the individual test cases inside it can be recovered, but you must recreate the suite structure manually.
There is no automatic purge schedule, cases remain in the trash indefinitely until you take action.
