Use the Vansah Recycle Bin to find deleted items in a Jira space and restore the ones you still need. Check the item’s name or key and the available deletion details before restoring it.

Before you begin

Open Vansah in the Jira space where the item was deleted. Each Jira space has its own Recycle Bin.
You need permission to access the Recycle Bin and permission to restore the selected item. If an action is unavailable, ask your Vansah administrator to check your access.
Restoring Test Environments requires Jira or Jira space administration permission. Restoring Test Data Collections also requires permission to edit Test Cases.

Open the Recycle Bin

Open your Jira space and select Vansah.
Select the Settings gear in the upper-right corner of Vansah.
Under Recycle Bin, select Manage Recycle Bin.

Manage Recycle Bin in the Vansah Settings menu

Choose the tab for the item you want to restore. Use the page controls or refresh button where available.

Tab	What to look for
Test Cases	Deleted Test Cases, with their keys, headlines, types, Deleted Date, and Deleted By.
Test Library	Deleted reusable Test Library collections, with their steps, revision, and deletion details.
Test Runs	Expand Planned Test Runs or Miscellaneous Test Runs to find the relevant record.
Test Folders	Deleted folders. Expand the tree and hover over a folder for its path and deletion details.
Test Environments	Deleted environments.
Test Data Collections	Deleted data collections grouped under their active environment.

Restore a Test Case

Select Test Cases.
Find the Test Case using its key and headline. Check Deleted Date and Deleted By.
Open its ... menu and select Restore.
Wait for the success message, then close the Recycle Bin and check the restored Test Case.

Deleted Test Cases with Restore and Delete actions

Restore a Test Run

Select Test Runs.
Expand Planned Test Runs or Miscellaneous Test Runs, depending on where the deleted record belongs.
Check the available run or plan details and deletion information.
Open the record’s ... menu and select Restore.
After the success message, return to the relevant Test Case or Test Plan and check the restored execution.

Miscellaneous Test Runs with deletion details and Restore action

Restore a Test Folder

Select Test Folders.
Find the folder. Hover over it to check its previous path and deletion details.
Open its ... menu and select Restore.
Choose an active destination folder or Test Repository in the location picker, then confirm the restore.
Return to Test Repository and check the restored folder and its contents.

Deleted Test Folders showing the folder path and deletion details

Restoring a folder can also bring back its deleted subfolders and related linked records. Review the restored contents, rather than assuming only the selected folder has changed.

Restore a Test Library collection

Select Test Library.
Identify the collection by its name, step count, revision, and deletion details.
Select Restore on that row.
Review the Restore Collection dialog and select Restore to confirm.
Return to Test Library and check the collection.

This restores the original collection with its stored steps, sharing, and existing links. It does not recreate references that were separately removed from Test Scripts.

Restore a Test Environment

Select Test Environments.
Find the deleted environment and open its menu.
Select Restore. The environment returns with its original name; there is no destination picker.
Return to Test Environments and review the environment and its restored data collections.

Restore action for a deleted Test Environment

Restoring an environment also restores deleted data collections within it and their related versions and variables. If an active environment already has the same name, resolve the name conflict before retrying.

Restore a Test Data Collection

Select Test Data Collections.
Expand the active environment that contains the deleted collection.
Open the collection’s menu and select Restore.
Return to the environment and check the restored collection, versions, and variables.

Restore action for a deleted Test Data Collection

The collection returns to its existing environment; there is no destination picker. If the environment itself was deleted, restore it from Test Environments first. An active collection with the same name in that environment prevents restoration.

Permanently delete a record

For Test Cases and Test Runs, the record’s menu also offers Delete. Use it only when the record is no longer needed. Read the confirmation dialog carefully before confirming.

Delete removes the record from the Recycle Bin. It can no longer be restored through the Recycle Bin. Use Restore if you want to recover the item.

If an item or action is missing

Issue	What to check
You cannot open the Recycle Bin or use Restore	Ask your Vansah administrator to check Recycle Bin access and the permissions required for that item. Test Library restoration can also depend on access to the collection.
You cannot find the item	Check the Jira space, tab, page, and expanded group. Refresh the list. For a data collection, check whether its parent environment was deleted.
A duplicate-name error appears	For an environment or data collection, resolve the existing active item with the same name before retrying.
The item disappeared after Delete	It is no longer available for restoration through the Recycle Bin.
Restore reports an error	Read the error message and check whether the item has already been restored. Share the item’s name or key, Jira space, and error with your administrator if it continues.
