Deleting a recipe and the 30-day Trash

Updated 2026-09-02

Delete a recipe from its menu. It doesn't vanish — it goes to Recipe Trash, where it stays for 30 days before being permanently removed. Find it at Settings → Recipe Trash.

• On the Free plan, deleting frees a recipe slot immediately, even though the recipe is still recoverable from Trash. See The Free recipe limit.
• If the recipe is in any upcoming meal plans, the delete confirmation tells you so first.
• Deleting needs an internet connection.

To get one back, see Restoring a recipe from Trash.
