Allow Admins to Delete Analytics Data Before the 6-Month Retention Period
Feature Request: Allow Admins to Delete Analytics Data Before the 6-Month Retention Period
Summary
Provide administrators with the ability to manually delete analytics data before the default 6-month retention period when the data is no longer needed.
Description
Currently, analytics data is retained for a fixed period of six months, and administrators do not have the option to remove this data earlier. In some cases, organizations may no longer require specific analytics data and would prefer to delete it before the retention period expires.
Adding an option for administrators to manually delete analytics data would provide greater flexibility in data management and help organizations better control their stored data.
Proposed Functionality
Allow administrators to manually delete analytics data on demand.
Option to delete specific date ranges or all analytics data.
Include a confirmation step to prevent accidental deletion.
Ensure the action is limited to users with administrator permissions.
Benefits
Improved data management flexibility.
Helps organizations comply with internal data governance policies.
Reduces unnecessary data storage when analytics data is no longer required.
Use Case
An administrator wants to remove analytics data that is no longer relevant to their organization’s reporting needs but must currently wait until the 6-month retention period ends. This feature would allow them to delete the data immediately when it is no longer needed.
