When you delete something in Visual Radio Assist, it is not gone right away. We archive it first and keep it for a while, so you can get it back if you change your mind or delete something by mistake. After a set period the item is removed for good, automatically.

​
How deletion works

Deleting a resource moves it out of view but keeps it safe in the background:
1

You delete a resource

It disappears from your workspace and stops being used in your broadcast. It is not actually erased yet, just archived.
2

It stays recoverable for a while

During the keep period you can restore the resource and everything it holds, including its uploaded files and media.
3

It is permanently removed

Once the keep period passes, the resource is deleted for good during a regular housekeeping run. Any stored media that belongs to it, like videos, images, recordings, and clip exports, is removed from storage at the same time.
Housekeeping runs throughout the day, so permanent removal happens shortly after the keep period ends, not at one fixed moment.
Permanent removal cannot be undone. Once a resource passes its keep period and is cleared, it and its media are gone for good. Restore it before then if you still need it.

​
Restoring an archived resource

As long as a resource is still within its keep period, you can restore it. Restoring brings back the resource together with its content. If it lived inside a folder that was also deleted, it is placed back at the top level of your studio so you can find it again.

​
How long things are kept

The keep period depends on the type of resource. Longer for things you are likely to want back, shorter for large or temporary items.

Resources that are not in this list stay archived and can be restored. They are cleared when the studio or broadcaster they belong to is removed.

​
Deleting a studio or broadcaster

Deleting a whole studio or broadcaster is a big step. It archives everything inside it, like outputs, visuals, media, schedules, and recordings, and then removes all of it when the studio or broadcaster is permanently cleared. The keep period here is short, 6 hours, so restore it quickly if you deleted it by mistake.
