What happens to deleted prospects in the system?

When a prospect is deleted in the system, it is initially moved to a recycling bin rather than being permanently erased right away. This temporary holding area allows for potential recovery of the deleted prospect, which is crucial for organizations that may need to reinstate lost data due to accidental deletions or changes in strategy. As a best practice, this feature helps maintain data integrity and provides a safety net for users managing their prospects.

The other options suggest alternative behaviors for deleted prospects that do not align with how the recycling bin functions. For instance, the idea that deleted prospects are permanently removed and cannot be restored overlooks the existence of the recycling bin as a recovery measure. Similarly, the assertion that they count towards database limits until deleted or that they are automatically undeleted after a set period does not accurately reflect the process of managing deleted data within this system.
