# Restore Deleted Content

**Note:** By default, the [Trash](/docs/headless-cms/about-trash) feature stores deleted content such as Content Types, Entries, and Assets for **14 days** before it is permanently deleted. If this period has passed, contact the [Customer Support](mailto:support@contentstack.com) team with the necessary details for restoration.

If you have accidentally deleted stacks, entries, assets, or content types, the Contentstack [Customer Support](mailto:support@contentstack.com) team can assist with restoring the data. To process your request, you will need to provide specific details about the deleted modules.

**Note:** Only a **Stack** [**Owner**](/docs/headless-cms/types-of-roles#owner)**/**[**Admin**](/docs/headless-cms/types-of-roles#admin) or **Organization** [**Owner**](/docs/headless-cms/types-of-roles#owner)**/**[**Admin**](/docs/headless-cms/types-of-roles#admin) can submit or approve requests to restore content.
