Change the days until deletion for a recycle bin

The days until deletion setting for a recycle bin functions as a grace period. The grace period determines how many days interactions remain in the recycle bin. The system waits for the specified number of days from the time the interaction was added before making the interaction available for deletion.

Changing the days until deletion does not affect interactions already added to the recycle bin. When an interaction is added to the recycle bin, the days until deletion is determined by the currently configured value of days until deletion. If you want an interaction to have the new days until deletion value, remove it from the recycle bin and re-add it.

Before you begin

Access an existing recycle bin.
