About Deleted Messages

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco Unity Connection saves your deleted messages; you can play, restore, or permanently delete them.
Deleting messages can be an important way to reduce the size of your mailbox, especially when Cisco Unity Connection is not set up to automatically delete messages once they reach a certain age.
Ask your Connection administrator if the system is set up to enforce a message-retention policy. Connection does not indicate when a message-retention policy is enforced, nor does it warn you before messages are permanently deleted as a result of such a policy. If Connection is not set up to do so, make sure that you permanently delete messages periodically.

You can play your deleted messages, just as you can play new and saved messages. You can also restore a deleted message as a new or saved message.
