My web application has various types of objects the user can interact with (projects, items, features, devices, kind-of-device, files, ect). They can delete these objets, however it's a soft delete so it's really just hidden. In the setting page, a checkbox allows them to see deleted objects.

The problem is that users are confused by the term "object". "Entities" didn't have any success either. I also tried "items" but users then though it was going to show deleted settings in the settings page. Since my application use various disparate kinds of objects, there's no domain-specific overarching word. Any idea?
