Mark As Unpurge

The Unpurged functionality in the AIV application allows users to protect important files from being permanently deleted. By default, files are assigned a retention period after which they are purged by the Administrator. However, once a file is marked as unpurged, it will not be deleted during the purge cycle. To modify the settings for purging or unpurging a file, users need to contact their Administrator.
