The server admin has the ability permanently delete soft-deleted submissions using the Purge Submissions page. This feature promotes compliance with security and privacy standards, specifically GDPR, that require support for permanent removal (Right of Erasure). Additionally, it can help customers maintain their frevvo database at a manageable size.
