Please add a temporary trash can

Please, please, please add a temporary trash can where we can get a video if we deleted it by mistake. They wouldn't have to remain in there very long. Just a week would be enough.
I record in Descript, so my videos are only housed there until I edit and upload them to Vimeo. I have to go re-record one now that I deleted by accident because I had neglected to give it its proper name. I thought it was a test I had tried.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've done this. I never used to record my videos in Descript, so I always had an unedited version somewhere I could go back to. Not anymore.
Please consider this. I know it's a space issue of storing duplicate videos, but it would save us having to re-record if it's deleted by accident. Thank you.

No Undo or Sandbox on Deletes
John Gauntt
Lost a project tonight because it sat adjacent to another project I planned to delete. I was one line off and deleted the wrong project. Fine print told me after the fact that delete is simultaneous and permanent. No recovery path.
I thought, really? Does no one make a mistaken deletion except me? Killed a good project by mistake, a 40min recording. I can reconstruct but am also struck by the lack of a well documented UX feature or like a sandbox/trash can or a set time before permanent deletion.
Call me clumsy, sure. But goddamn. Simultaneous and permanent? For civilian users like myself who pay full freight but don't pull hard on feature requests, that's a pretty shitty experience that happens to have a clear fix. Would appreciate a second step before permanent deletion in the roadmap.

Trash Bin within Project
Daniel Martinez Stahl
Hi there,
I deleted assets from my project by accident and it would be great if we were able to access a bin to retrieve the assets easily.
Thank you as always for all your help with making Descript even better.
Lots of Love, Daniel 🙂❤

I also deleted assets from a project by mistake and would love to be able to easily access them, even if the bin is only temporary for 24 hours.
