# Retrieving Deleted Content

## How to Delete and "Un-delete" Content

Deleting content is as easy as toggling the [**Content State** ](/base-cms/content-management/content-states.md)to **Delete**, and hitting "Save".

If you decide that you no longer want the content deleted, simple toggle that same status from **Delete** to **Draft** or **Publish**

![](/files/-MK0ebrXLLJRrNn_QnSa)

Click **"Save"** and the content will no longer be deleted.

## How to find deleted content

You may notice that deleted content doesn't appear by default on the search/browse page of Base.  If you're looking for a deleted piece of content, you can filter by **Status** on the left-hand side of the page. 

![](/files/-MK0edcoK12egShW2zCN)

Doing so will update the **Queued Content** list with only **Deleted** items:
