## Dashboard and folder deletion
**Folders** - When you delete folders, the action is immediate and can't be reversed.
**Dashboards** - Deleted dashboards are stored in the deletion history and can be [restored](#restore-dashboards) if needed (Cloud only).
## Restore deleted dashboards
{{% admonition type="caution" %}}
The feature is only available in Grafana Cloud.
{{% /admonition %}}
When you delete dashboards, they’re stored in the deletion history for up to 12 months, allowing you to restore them if needed.
The deletion history can contain a maximum of 1000 dashboards.
After this limit is reached, the oldest deleted dashboards are permanently removed even if the 12-month expiration period isn't over yet.
You can access the list of deleted dashboards from the **Dashboards** page by clicking the **Recently deleted** button, or by navigating to **Dashboards > Recently deleted**.
To restore one or more dashboards, follow these steps:
1. In the main menu, click **Dashboards > Recently deleted** or click the **Recently deleted** button from the **Dashboards** page.
2. Select the dashboards you want to restore.
3. Click **Restore** and select a folder to which the dashboards will be moved:
- If you select one dashboard and its original folder still exists, that folder is preselected.
- If you select multiple dashboards from the _same_ folder, that folder is preselected.
- If you select dashboards from _different_ folders, you’ll need to choose one target folder for all of them.
- If the original folder no longer exists, you’ll need to select a new target folder.
4. Click **Restore**.
