Permanently deleting an archived item is irreversible — the row is removed from the database along with all its children (a client’s projects, a project’s widgets, etc). Use it to:
- Free up plan quota immediately rather than waiting for the retention window
- Remove sensitive data after a client requests GDPR/CCPA erasure
- Clean up test data with certainty
There is no undo. Once an item is permanently deleted, it cannot be recovered — not even by Oviond support.

Automatic purge
Archived items older than the retention window (90 days by default) are automatically purged by a background job. You don’t need to manually delete them — they’re cleaned up periodically on Oviond’s end.
