Archive and delete: the 30-day archive and deleting an event
What archiving does, who keeps access, how to archive early and how to delete an event yourself.
Thirty days after an event closes, it is archived. Archiving keeps your data and takes away the moving parts. Deleting is the one action that removes the audience content, and it is yours alone to take.
1What archiving means
An archived event is read-only: the questions, polls, reactions and survey responses stay, Analytics and the CSV exports still work, and nothing can be changed any more. The dashboard shows a grey banner with the archive date.
2Who keeps access
Only the event owner. Moderators and streamers are signed off at archive time and the event disappears from their My events page. Until then, during the thirty days after the close, they keep read access.
3Archive early
Done with the event and want it out of the way? On a closed event, choose Archive now from the menu or the wrap-up card. Same result as waiting thirty days.
4Delete an event
Delete removes every question, poll, reaction, survey and crew role for good. The dialog asks you to type delete to confirm. There is no undo, and the export links stop working, so download your CSV files first.
5What stays
A short entry with the event name and dates stays under All on My events for your records, marked as deleted. The licence that powered the event stays used. Paid events are never deleted by us; only you can.
