Understanding Web Part Pages
A Web Part Page is a special type of page on a SharePoint site that contains one or more Web Parts.

Using the Recycle Bin
The Recycle Bin in Windows SharePoint Services provides two-stage protection against accidental deletions.

If you then delete this item from the site’s Recycle Bin, it is moved to the site collection’s Recycle Bin. From there, the document can be either restored to its original location or deleted.
