The trash

Get back something you deleted, or delete it for good.

Topics, cards, sources and exams you delete go to the trash first. Open it from the account menu or from the search.

The trash has a tab for each: Topics, Cards, Sources and Exams. Each item shows how long until it’s deleted.

Restore something

Choose Restore on an item and it’s back where it was, as it was. A card keeps your progress, and a source is cited again by the cards that cited it.

An exam that isn’t done counts toward your plan again once it’s restored. If there isn’t room for it, it stays in the trash.

Deleted for good after 30 days

Everything stays in the trash for 30 days and is then deleted for good. To delete something sooner, choose Delete for good in its menu, or Empty trash to delete everything in it. Memorics asks first, as this can’t be undone.

Several at once

To restore or delete several items of a tab at once, choose Select above them, or Select in an item’s menu. Then click the items you want. The bar at the bottom of the screen has Restore and Delete for good for everything you selected. If you restore several exams and there isn’t room in your plan for all of them, none is restored.

While selecting, Ctrl A (⌘ A on a Mac) selects everything on the tab and Esc stops selecting. Switching tabs stops selecting too.

What goes together

  • A topic in the trash takes its subtopics, cards and sources with it. They aren’t listed on their own, and come back when you restore the topic.
  • Deleting a source for good keeps the cards that cited it.
  • Deleting an exam only deletes the exam. Its topics, cards and your progress stay.
