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

GitLab is enhancing its deletion flow for groups and projects to improve user experience and prevent accidental data loss. Changes include a pending deletion state, self-service recovery, a standardized display of deletion status, and an extended recovery window. Upcoming improvements will unify the deletion process across platforms, allow immediate path reuse, and introduce a centralized 'Trash' interface with bulk management features.
