Totally deleted files from ACC!

Totally deleted files from ACC!

i would appreciate the functionality of Delete in the project because it doesn't delete the file totally, but now it's my thoughts changed.

 

Once you upload Revit files to ACC, the platform automatically detecting the Revit version by this ways defintely the platform let you access the files from that Revit Version, so if some one by mistake upload upgraded version automatically the entire project will upgrade to the newest version, so your accessability to the files through Revit is disconnected, Even if you delete the file because it's still there in the Deleted folder, So i am Bringing this idea to let Autodesk Team to help if this happen because of human Error or Automation system to one of the Massive projects it cause big issue for us. Appreciating your understanding for this thought, in case you need more clarity please send me message or reply to my idea. thanks 

 

Best Regards,

This is crucial for some projects. Owners and/or governments demands everything regarding the project and or files permanently deleted after handover of the project. Due to lack of this possibility ACC can't be used for these type of projects. And due to GDPR you may break the law if you upload something with personal information, and no way to fix it.

There has to be an option to delete and permanently delete a file from the system at least by Hub-Admin.
Here are many cases where the current limitation of not being able to delete a file is un-acceptable.

Case 1) Someone share personal and confidential information such as passport photo or other confidential information. it is not good enough for this data to be move to "Deleted" folder for others to retrieve.

Case 2) Someone upload elicit photo that is Illegal in nature. There needs to be an option to scrub the data from the System.

Case 3) Certain project has data retention and data destruction, these are commercial and legal binding contractual obligations to our clients. Autodesk needs to provide an option to totally delete data from ACC and where possible provide certificate of data destruction or equivalent guarantees that the data is "DELETED"

Project wipe is possible through support as single requests if it is due to contract or a few other reasons. But files in a project is not possible right now. The best would if HUB admin could delete with an extra password confirmation.
