Restore Deleted Pages on Squarespace
Accidentally deleting a page on your website can be stressful, especially when you realise you actually need it back. The good news? Squarespace makes it easy to recover deleted pages thanks to its built-in trash feature.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to restore deleted pages in Squarespace, how long they stay recoverable, and where they go once restored.
Can You Recover Deleted Pages in Squarespace?
Yes! Squarespace keeps deleted pages in a trash bin for 30 days before they’re permanently removed. During that time, you can restore them with just a few clicks, no backups or plugins required.

How to Restore a Deleted Page in Squarespace
Follow these simple steps to bring a deleted page back to life.
1. Open the Pages Panel
From your Squarespace dashboard:
Go to Pages
Scroll down and click Deleted Pages
This is Squarespace’s version of a recycle bin.
2. Find Your Deleted Page
In the Deleted Pages section, you’ll see:
The name of the deleted page
The date it was deleted
Pages remain here for 30 days from the deletion date. After that, they’re permanently removed and can’t be recovered.
3. Restore the Page
To recover the page:
Click Restore next to the page
Confirm the action
That’s it, your page is officially restored!
Where Does the Restored Page Go?
When you restore a deleted page, Squarespace does not automatically return it to its original location.
Instead, the page is added to the Not Linked section of your Pages panel.
From there, you can:
Drag it into your main navigation
Move it into a folder
Keep it hidden until you’re ready to publish it again
It’s a quick drag-and-drop process.
How to Permanently Delete Pages
If you’re sure you don’t need a page anymore:
Go to Deleted Pages
Click Empty Trash
This removes the page immediately instead of waiting the full 30 days.
Important Things to Know
Pages are recoverable for 30 days
After 30 days, deleted pages are gone forever
Restored pages go to Not Linked, not the main menu
Navigation placement must be done manually after restoring
Final Thoughts
Deleting a page by accident doesn’t have to be a disaster. With Squarespace’s trash feature, you can quickly restore deleted pages and get your site back on track in minutes.
If you work with Squarespace regularly, it’s worth knowing exactly where deleted pages go, it can save you a lot of panic later on.
