1. Are you using soft delete. If so restore will work with withTrashed() on the model you want to undo the delete.

2. You can always ask user for confirmation before any operation is performed.

3. You can also use queues. Where in you push all such operations into the queue table. You can schedule a job that takes data from queue and perform the operation, before 30 seconds if you still don't want the action to proceed, remove it from the queue.
