What is the maximum time a deleted ticket remains in the deleted tickets queue?

The maximum time that a deleted ticket remains in the deleted tickets queue is 30 days. This is important to understand because it allows administrators to recover mistakenly deleted tickets within that time frame. After 30 days, the tickets are permanently removed from the system and cannot be restored.

This time frame of 30 days gives users a reasonable window to manage accidental deletions without the worry of losing critical ticket information permanently. Having a defined period like this can help in designing workflows and processes around ticket management, ensuring that there’s always a safety net for recovering important information that could be mistakenly removed.

Other time frames such as 60 days, 24 hours, or 14 days do not accurately reflect the policy set by Zendesk regarding deleted tickets, underscoring the significance of knowing the correct duration for maintaining access to potentially recoverable ticket information.
