Ona manages inactive environments in two stages: archival after a period of inactivity, then auto-deletion based on your plan and organization policy. ## Timelines | Plan | Archive after | Auto-delete after archival | | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Core | 3 days | 4 days | | Enterprise | 3 days by default; configurable from 1-30 days | Configurable (1-4 weeks, or never) | Environment lifecycle ## Archiving Stopped environments are archived after the inactive period for your plan. Enterprise organization policies can replace the default archive timing. Archived environments move to a separate view and can be unarchived or deleted. You receive an email when environments are archived. ## Viewing archived environments Select **Archived** from the sidebar toggle to view archived environments. Switch back to **Project** or **Recently active** to return to the main view. ## Managing archived environments Hover over an archived environment to reveal actions: * **Unarchive** - click the restore icon. The environment returns to your main list. * **Delete** - click the trash icon and confirm in the dialog. Deleting an environment permanently removes all content. This cannot be undone. ### Delete all Delete All confirmation dialog Click **Delete All** at the bottom and confirm to remove all archived environments. ## Archive timing settings Enterprise admins can configure when stopped environments move to Archived from **Settings > Organization > Policies**. The minimum is 1 day and the maximum is 30 days. Core organizations archive stopped environments after 3 days. See [Archive timing policy](/ona/organizations/policies/archive-timing) for details. ## Auto-delete settings Auto-delete dropdown showing 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and Never options Options: **After 1 day**, **After 2 days**, **After 3 days**, **After 5 days**, **After 1 week**, **After 2 weeks**, **After 4 weeks**, or **Never**. Auto-delete preferences are available on Enterprise plans. Core organizations auto-delete environments 4 days after archival. Organization policies override user preferences when more restrictive. Disabled options in the dropdown indicate policy restrictions. ## FAQ Core environments archive after 3 days of inactivity. Enterprise environments archive after 3 days by default, or after the organization policy period. No. Only archived environments can be restored.
