[TYPO3] Deleteing tt_news articles

[Stephen Bungert]

So must I periodically check the database and delete things from it? Or does
TYPO3 have a sort of Rubbish bin like on your desktop, where I can go and
restore the items or really delete them if I wish?

TYPO3 nearly never deletes anything. Most of the tables have a field called
"deleted" which is set to 1 when an item was deleted from the
TYPO3 backend. This is out of security reasons.
