Can I configure the number of days for which my data will be retained in soft-deleted state after the delete operation is complete?

Question

SAMUEL RUFUS · Accepted Answer

Yes, in many cloud services like Azure Backup and Google Cloud Storage, you can configure the soft-delete retention period, but it depends on the specific service. For example, Azure Backup allows you to configure the retention from 14 to 180 days, while Google Cloud Storage allows configuration between 7 and 90 days. Some services, however, have a fixed retention period (e.g., a 30-day default for Microsoft 365 user accounts) and may not be configurable.

Yes, you can configure the soft-delete retention period for some Azure services, but not for all. For services like Azure Files and Azure Container Registry, you can set a retention period between 1 and 365 days at the time of creation. For other services like Azure Backup and Azure Machine Learning, the retention period may be a fixed, non-configurable duration, such as 14 days.
