Associated with root is almost identical to being orphaned, cept the item can still be accessed if you know the URL.

Soft Deleted would allow you to access the item via the Admin CP and restore it as easy as editing it and setting it to visible.

Hard Delete is obviously completely removed from the system, no recovery short of a full...
