Delete a gallery and restore it from the trash

Deleting a gallery first moves it to the trash, where you can restore it for 24 hours. After that it's removed for good. If you just want to free up space, archive it instead.

Move a gallery to the trash

1. On the Galleries page, select the gallery (or several with Select) and choose Move to Trash.
2. Confirm. The confirmation says you can restore it within 24 hours.

Osvio warns you if your client hasn't downloaded the photos yet, because deleting means they lose access.

Restore from the trash

1. Open the trash with the trash-can icon at the end of the filter row.
2. Each deleted gallery shows a countdown such as "Deleted in 5 hours".
3. Choose to restore the gallery. Confirm Restore gallery?

Once the 24 hours are up the gallery and its photos are permanently deleted.

Delete permanently now

In the trash, choose to delete a gallery and confirm Delete permanently? This can't be undone.

What happens to clients' Memory Vaults

If clients have preserved the gallery in the Memory Vault, their vaults stay intact when you delete it. Osvio shows how many clients preserved it before you confirm. See Memory Vault.

Deleting a gallery is different from deleting a photo

Individual photos can only be undone for 20 seconds. See Delete and restore photos.

Good to know

• Expired galleries aren't deleted automatically.
• If your subscription lapses, your galleries become read-only for a while and are then deleted. See Billing & subscription.
