When a proof is deleted in PageProof, it isn’t removed immediately. Instead, it is soft deleted and moved to the Recently deleted area of the team dashboard for 7 days. During this time, a team administrator can recover the proof if needed.
After 7 days, the proof is permanently deleted.

As a team administrator, select team then dashboard.

Step 3
