Improving GitLab's deletion flow: What to expect in coming months

What this post added

Introduced a pending deletion state for all deleted projects and groups, enabling self-service recovery across all tiers. Standardized deletion status indicators and extended the recovery window to 30 days on GitLab.com. Future work includes Admin area consistency, immediate namespace path reuse, a centralized 'Trash' interface, clear action separation (delete vs. delete permanently), and bulk management.
