Deleted test cases go to the trash bin, where you can restore them if they were deleted by mistake.
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. Test cases cannot be permanently deleted from the trash bin.
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, with the most recently deleted first. Each row shows the case title, when it was deleted, and its number of steps and test runs.
Restoring Test Cases
Select one or more cases and choose Restore.
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.
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.
Test cases cannot be permanently deleted. The trash bin has no permanent delete or empty action, and there is no automatic purge, so deleted cases stay in the trash indefinitely unless you restore them.
The trash bin cannot be searched or sorted, and it does not show test case IDs. Identify a case by its title and deletion time before restoring it.
