As an Administrator in ClientPoint, you have the option to permanently delete trashed ClientPoints by emptying the trash. This action is available for all users within your system, providing a way to clear up unwanted or obsolete data.
However, while this option is available, it is not always advisable to use it without careful consideration. Emptying the trash results in the permanent deletion of all trashed ClientPoints, and once deleted, the information cannot be recovered. This includes:
- ClientPoint analytics: Key insights related to performance or engagement will be lost.
- Recipient information: Any personal or contact details associated with the ClientPoint will be removed.
- Comments and discussions: All comments made within the ClientPoint will be erased.
- Files shared by the recipient: Documents or media files uploaded or shared within the ClientPoint will no longer be accessible.
- Files within the ClientPoint: All files attached or included within the ClientPoint will be permanently deleted.
Therefore, before proceeding with this action, it is important to ensure that you no longer need this data for any reason, including historical analytics, client interactions, or record-keeping.
When Should You Empty the Trash?
There are a few specific situations where you might need to delete trashed ClientPoints, such as:
- Clearing Out Obsolete Data: If your system has accumulated a large amount of unnecessary or outdated ClientPoints, emptying the trash can help maintain a clean and organized database.
- Data Integrity and Privacy: If there are concerns about sensitive data or information that is no longer relevant, permanently deleting it ensures that no trace remains.
- System Performance: In some cases, clearing trashed data can help optimize system performance by reducing the load caused by large volumes of obsolete records.
If you are certain that emptying the trash is the best course of action, follow the steps below:

Conclusion
