+# Deleting Expenses
+
+Expensify does not permanently delete expenses in open accounts to prevent lost funds or reconciliation issues. Instead, expenses are **soft deleted**, meaning they are moved to a **Deleted** folder. This ensures that:  
+
+- Accidental deletions can be easily reversed.  
+- No financial data is permanently lost within an active Expensify account.  
+- Users maintain better control over expense records.  
+
+## Recovering Deleted Expenses  
+
+If you need to restore a deleted expense:  
+
+1. Navigate to **Expenses** in your Expensify account.  
+2. Click the **Filters** icon and select **Deleted** to view all soft-deleted expenses.  
+3. Locate the expense you want to recover.  
+4. Click **Restore** to move the expense back to its original state.  
+
+## Managing Deleted Expenses  
+
+- **Deleted expenses remain in the system** for reference, ensuring no financial data is lost.  
+- **Expenses can be restored at any time** unless permanently removed by an admin.  
+- If an expense is deleted in error, you can restore it using the steps above.

+
+# Filtering Expenses
+
+Use filters to narrow down the data:
+1. Click the **Expenses** tab.
+2. Adjust the filters at the top of the page:
+   - **Date Range** – Select a specific time frame.
+   - **Merchant Name** – Find expenses from a particular vendor (partial searches work).
+   - **Workspace** – View expenses for a specific Group or Individual Workspace.
+   - **Categories** – Filter by category to refine your search.
+   - **Tags** – Locate expenses based on assigned tags.
+   - **Submitters** – Find expenses by employee or vendor.
+   - **Personal Expenses** – Show expenses that have not yet been added to a report.
+   - **Open, Processing, Approved, Reimbursed, Closed** – View expenses at different reporting stages.
+
+**Note:** Some filters adjust dynamically based on your current selections. If results aren’t as expected, click **Reset** to clear all filters.
