Delete a page with children
If you delete a page that has any child pages, the child pages moves up to the nearest parent page. If you want to keep the child pages under another parent, it's a good idea to move them before deleting their former parent.
Restore a deleted page
You need to be a space administrator to restore a deleted page.
When you restore a Confluence page, you're moving it from the trash to the root of the space. You may want to move the page to another location after you've restored it, as it won't be easy to find at the root of the space.
To restore a deleted page:
- Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools from the bottom of the sidebar
- Choose Content Tools > Trash
A list of deleted pages and blog posts for the space displays. - Choose Restore for the page you wish to restore
To find the page after you've restored it, choose Pages to go to the root of the space (the page isn't restored to its original position in the page hierarchy). See Move and Reorder Pages for more information.
If a new page has already been created in that space with the same name as the page you're restoring, you'll be given an option to rename the page before it's restored.
Purge deleted pages
You need to be a space administrator to purge deleted pages.
If you want to permanently get rid of a page, you need to purge it from the trash. That'll mean the page, and all its versions and attachments, are gone for good.
Attachments of deleted pages will remain in the database (allowing potential retrieval) until the trash is purged. Once the trash is purged, all attachments on the page(s) are permanently removed.
To purge deleted pages:
- Go to the space and choose Space tools > Content Tools from the bottom of the sidebar
- Choose Trash
A list of deleted pages and blog posts for the space displays. - Choose Purge for a specific page or Purge All to permanently clear all deleted pages and news items
