How to Restore a Divi Cloud Item from Scratch

Let’s get started!

Why Delete a Divi Cloud Item?

First, let’s explore several reasons why we’d delete a Divi Cloud item. Perhaps the main reason is to clear the Divi Cloud library of layouts you no longer need or use. Divi Cloud simplifies building the layout on one website and importing it to another. Once you import a layout you won’t reuse, delete it to regain the space in your Divi Cloud.

Deleting Divi Cloud items makes Divi Cloud easier to use. Sorting and searching through your Divi layouts is easy enough with Divi Cloud, but finding the perfect layout is much easier if you don’t have to search and sort through lots of layouts you’ll never use.

Another reason to delete your Divi Cloud items is you might run out of space. The free Divi Cloud account stores 50 items. This includes the items in the trash folder. If your account exceeds 50 items, the oldest item in your trash folder will be deleted permanently to make room. Delete items you don’t use to conserve space within your free account. Of course, you can upgrade Divi Cloud for unlimited storage.

Even though deleting an item is simple, it’s just as simple to restore deleted items.
