Soft Delete vs. Hard Delete in Zendesk
What is the difference between soft delete and hard delete in Zendesk?
In Zendesk, a soft delete makes an item invisible to users but keeps it in the database, accessible only to certain Zendesk employees. Soft deleted items are permanently deleted after 30 days. A hard delete, on the other hand, completely removes the item from the database, making it inaccessible to anyone, including Zendesk employees.
