How long is a meeting kept once it is deleted.

    Best answer by ExpertswhoJohn

    hi ​@Regina Mickens 

    For a deleted Zoom meeting or webinar, Zoom keeps it in Recently Deleted for up to 1 week. If you permanently delete it from the trash, or more than a week passes, you cannot recover it.

    Two related things often get mixed up with this:

    A scheduled one-time meeting ID that is not deleted normally expires 30 days after the scheduled date. That is an expiry rule, not the deleted-item rule.

    If you meant a deleted cloud recording from a meeting, that is usually kept in Trash for 30 days, and after that Zoom says it is permanently deleted within 24 hours.

    Here is the ZOOM reference
