EDITORIAL TAKEAWAY
Review the marked projects with automatic deletion left off. Confirm their owners and current use before choosing a cleanup policy.
Before you try it
- Enterprise admins and owners configure this under Workspace settings, Security, Privacy & security, Abandoned projects.
- The default inactivity period is 60 days; optional deletion grace periods are 7, 14 or 30 days. Real visitors and backend calls count as activity; opening a preview alone does not.
- Deletion takes the app offline and pauses its backend. Recovery lasts 60 days, but the old lovable.app address can be claimed during that period. The seasonal game uses fictional projects and does not clean real workspaces.
A small next step
Our suggested way to explore the change.
- Inspect the current abandoned-project settings without turning on automatic deletion.
- Check ownership and actual usage for each marked project.
- Agree on retention and recovery needs before enabling any deletion policy.
