Overview
The Delete Dataset feature allows users to remove datasets from the active list in the Datasets Section. When a dataset is deleted, it is moved to the Deleted Datasets tab, where it can be restored within a specified time frame. This ensures that no critical data is permanently lost unless explicitly confirmed.
