Accidental deletion of collections: no way to recover / undelete

Open Sighisorean opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

Hi,

I accidentally deleted a calendar collection in the Android app. The deletion was immediately synced to my self-hosted EteSync server and all clients, and there seems to be no way to:

  • view deleted collections, or
  • restore/undelete a mistakenly deleted collection.

Given that Etebase/EteSync keeps a full history and only marks collections as deleted, it would be great to have:

  • A way to list deleted collections for an account, and
  • An “undelete/restore” option (even if exposed only via CLI or advanced UI).

Right now, a single tap can permanently wipe an entire calendar for non-technical users, unless they have their own server backups and know how to restore them.

Is such a recovery feature planned or considered?
