Recover deleted posts from your calendar
Deleted a post from your Metricool calendar by mistake? 🙈 Don’t worry, you can still get it back.
In this article, we’ll show you how to restore deleted posts in any status: drafts, pending (scheduled), or published.
Keep in mind:
When you delete a post from your Metricool calendar, it won’t be deleted from the social network even if it was already published.
Metricool cannot delete content that has already been published on your social media accounts. If you want to remove a post from a platform, you’ll need to do it directly from that platform (Instagram, Facebook, X, etc.).
Similarly, deleting a post from the social platform does not remove it from your Metricool calendar — these actions are not connected.
If you delete a post that is processing or in progress, it will likely be published, as Metricool has already sent the publishing request to the social network. It will only fail to publish if an error occurs. We recommend checking your profile on the network before trying to recover it in Metricool.
How to recover a deleted post
Only posts deleted in the last 45 days will appear, regardless of their original scheduled date.
Go to Planning to open your Metricool calendar.
Click on the Deleted posts tab.
Select the post you want to recover and click the icon to Restore post.
The post will reappear in your calendar with the same date and status it had before deletion.
What information will you see in the trash?
