Deleting an app keeps the data available?
Application Type
Reactive

Hi community, 

In outsystems 11 platform, I deleted an app from the production environment (reactive app). Then when I was checking the database with my readonly access, I saw that all the data of that app was still there... is this the normal behavior? All the data remains in the database server when we delete any app? 

I need to get this clarified. And in case the data is kept in the server, is it forever? Does it count for AOs? Does it remain on the same table, or is created some copy?

Thanks!!

In OutSystems, when you delete an app, the data stored in the application's database remains intact. To delete all the associated data along with the app, you need to manually remove the data from the database or use forge component like 'DB Cleaner On Steroids Lifetime Plugin' to better delete applications.  Also if you do not delet table from data base it won't be counted towords your application AO's

Hello Diogo,

Deleting the app does not delete the data from database. Please refer to the similar post

And as the app is deleted the tables will not be counted as AOs anymore in OutSystems. 

Thanks,
