Media Retention Schedule and Process

The data removal and purge process is conducted annually in March by the System Office.

Media will be moved to the Recycle Bin if the media was created more than 5 years ago and the media not played within 2 years. Media in the recycle bin can be viewed and restored by the owner.

After 21 days, media in the Recycle Bin is archived and is no longer available for use or viewing. Archived media can be restored by submitting a help request with the System Office. After 2 years, archived media is purged. Media is no longer available to be restored.

Reset the Clock

To reset the 2-year schedule on media, open the media and play it.

  • Opening the media without playing will not reset the schedule.
  • Restoring the media without playing will not reset the schedule.
