# Recover deleted packages within a 7-day restoration window

Cloudsmith has always retained deleted packages for 7 days before permanently removing them — but until now, restoring a deleted package required contacting Cloudsmith support. The new “Recently deleted packages” view lets your team find and restore packages directly, whether they were removed manually, by a retention rule, or via a bulk action, without raising a support request.

## What's new

From the recently deleted packages view, you can:

- **View deleted packages** across your entire workspace or scoped to a specific repository.
- **Restore any package** that was deleted within the last 7 days.
- **Permanently delete a package** immediately, without waiting for the window to expire.

[The API](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/api/recycle-bin/list) has also been extended to support recently deleted packages and restore functionality.

## Getting started

The recently deleted packages view is available now in the Cloudsmith web app. Head to your workspace or repository to get started, or see the [recently deleted packages documentation](https://docs.cloudsmith.com/artifact-management/recently-deleted-packages) for more details.
