Description

We already provide a trash bin for files, that allows users to restore deleted files.
I'd like to see something similar for calendars and contacts.

This also helps users who accidentally deleted events/contacts or an entire calendar/addressbook in their client.

Todo

  • Calendar and event trash bin
  • Calendar subscription trash bin
  • Address book and contact card trash bin

Research direction

Start by reviewing the completed calendar and event trash-bin work and the merged pull request #26083. Then inspect how calendar subscriptions, address books, and contact cards are handled. Done means the remaining unchecked trash-bin items support restoring accidentally deleted data and have suitable verification.
