Enable the Auto-Deletion policy for Webex recordings
You can set the number of days that recordings remain accessible, before Webex automatically moves them to the trash. After you set the policy, a message appears on the recording management page to notify all administrators.
The following procedure applies to Webex sites that you manage using Control Hub.
New Webex accounts include a full year of unlimited recording storage. Recordings older than 360 days are permanently deleted by the system by default. If you don’t want this to happen, we recommend upgrading to the Pro Pack license which allows you to retain your organization’s data for more than 360 days and up to 3600 days. For more information see our data retention article.
We recommend that you set your retention policy to keep storage below the cap for your site. Monitor your site requirements and purchase more storage if required.
When users delete their recordings, the system moves them to the trash. For up to 30 days, you can restore deleted recordings from the trash. After 30 days, the system permanently deletes the recordings.
