What happens when you delete a QR code, and can you recover it?

Managing QR codes effectively is crucial for maintaining seamless access and utilization within any application. Understanding the options available in case of accidental deletion or pausing can help prevent disruption.

Deleting a QR Code

When you delete a QR code in The QR Code Generator, please note the following:

  • Permanence: Once a QR code is deleted, it cannot be recovered, and the process is irreversible.

  • Deletion applies whether the code is removed directly or from any associated sections, such as "Paused Codes."

Recovering a QR Code

It is not possible to recover a QR code after deletion. Ensure that you delete codes only when you're certain they're no longer needed. Any code removed is permanently erased and will no longer function.

Using the Pause Option as an Alternative

If you're unsure about permanently deleting a QR code, consider using the pause option. This feature:

  1. Temporarily disables the QR code without deleting it.

  2. Ensures the code doesn’t count toward your active QR code limit while inaccessible.

  3. Allows you to reactivate the code later should you need to use it again.

By making use of the pause option, you can retain flexibility and avoid the risk of accidentally losing important QR codes.
