Delete a case (and restore it)

Admins can soft-delete a case so it leaves the workspace but is retained by Yesoma. Restore it any time, or request permanent deletion from Yesoma support.

Deleting a case removes it from your workspace without destroying it. It is a soft delete: the case disappears from your inbox, insights, search, and customer timelines, but it is kept securely by Yesoma so it can be restored if you change your mind. Only Yesoma staff can permanently erase data, and only when you ask them to.

Who can delete a case

Only workspace owners and admins can delete a case. Agents and viewers do not see the Delete action. This keeps case removal in the hands of the people responsible for your workspace.

Delete a case

Open a case in the inbox and click the red Delete action. You can add an optional reason (for example "test inquiry", "spam", or "duplicate"). The case immediately leaves every workspace view.

Find and restore a deleted case

Admins and owners have a Deleted cases link at the top of the inbox. It opens a list of everything that has been deleted, with who deleted it and when.

To bring a case back, click Restore. It returns to your inbox exactly as it was.

Request permanent deletion

If you want a case erased for good, open Deleted cases and click Request permanent deletion on it. This does not delete anything by itself. It flags the case for Yesoma support, who will permanently erase it.

This extra step exists so customer data is never destroyed by accident, and so there is always a record of who asked for an erasure.

What permanent deletion removes

When Yesoma support actions a permanent deletion, the case and everything attached to it is erased: its messages, internal notes, follow-ups, activity history, and any satisfaction rating. This cannot be undone.

Until that happens, the case stays safely in Deleted cases and can still be restored.
