Trash & restore

Deleting a tournament, folder, or chip set doesn’t erase it. It goes to the trash, where it stays until you restore it or erase it deliberately.

From the home screen or any folder, either:

  • Swipe the item left, or
  • Tap on its row and choose Move to trash

Moving a folder to the trash takes everything inside it along.

Whenever the trash isn’t empty, a small trash button appears at the bottom of the home screen and every folder. Tap it to see what’s in there.

Tap any item in the trash and confirm Restore ”…”?, or tap on its row and choose Restore.

Restoring rebuilds the item from a saved snapshot, so it’s subject to the same limits as importing a file: if it would exceed your storage or nest folders more than four levels deep, the app tells you instead of restoring. Very occasionally a snapshot can’t be rebuilt at all, and you’ll see Restore failed.

Two ways, both permanent and both confirmed first:

  • One item — Swipe it left in the trash, or tap and choose Permanently erase
  • Everything — Tap Empty trash in the app bar

What the trash means for your other devices

Section titled “What the trash means for your other devices”

The trash lives only on the device you deleted from — it is never uploaded. The item itself, though, is removed from the cloud the moment you move it to the trash.

So if you delete a tournament on your phone, it disappears from your tablet and the web right away, and the only remaining copy is the snapshot in your phone’s trash. Restoring it on the phone uploads it again and it comes back everywhere.

A tournament that had a QR code loses it when you move it to the trash, and restoring doesn’t bring it back. Create a new code afterwards if you still want to share the timer — see QR code sharing.
