Undo/restore Lead Deletion within a timeframe of deletion

Hi team,

I would like to propose the implementation of a lead restoration feature. The deleted leads can be stored in a recycle bin before permanent deletion and restoration access can be restricted to the admins only.

While deletion exercise is sometimes necessary due to database limits, it is equally imperative from a data cleanup perspective. The deletion of leads results in the loss of their associated activities, significantly impacting historical analytics. Even in scenarios where backups are taken before deletion and leads are re-imported, they are generated with fresh activities impacting the accuracy of historical records.

Furthermore, instances may arise where leads are inadvertently deleted, either by mistake or without the awareness of key stakeholders in the marketing team. Introducing a restoration window for storing deleted leads would serve as a valuable safeguard against such scenarios.

Thanks
