Deleting an archive is permanent. For security, Gearset cannot restore an archive or its archived records after you delete it, so read this before you delete anything.
Who can delete an archive?
The person who created the archive has full access to it. Team owners are given View and Delete permissions by default. You can change who holds Delete permission on the Permissions tab of the archive settings. See How to set archiving permissions.

What should I do before I delete an archive?
Check the archive name against the archive you mean to delete. Production archives and sandbox archives can look alike in the dashboard.

If you only want to stop the archive growing, edit its retention policy instead of deleting it. See How to configure retention rules for your archived data.
