Description
Soft delete is a nice addition to Craft, I had a case where we could have needed this after client deleted a user without reading the popup.
But; Currently its quite hard to see all deleted items or search through them if you have a lot of elements / sections. Other systems I have used earlier utilities a sort of trashcan where all deleted items gather, making it easier to manage them.
I suggest we get a trashcan under utilities where we can manage all deleted elements.

Start by reviewing Craft's existing soft-delete behavior and how deleted elements are currently surfaced. Then determine the scope of a Utilities trashcan, including which deleted elements it manages and what actions are required; the issue is complete when that behavior is specified and implemented.
