Idea movement in recycle bin
The members of the community can now move their ideas to recycle bin and out of it as and when they feel the need for them. The idea submitter will be able to move ideas to recycle bin only from stages where they can be edited.
Moving idea to Recycle bin
In order to move an idea to recycle bin click on the pencil icon to edit the idea and you should be able to see a recycle bin icon at the bottom of the idea submission form.

Another way is to use the change stage option and Select Recycle Bin option.
The idea will then move to recycle bin as shown in the below image.
