## AI overview

Enterprise workspace admins and owners can configure automatic cleanup for abandoned Lovable projects: after a default 60 days without qualifying activity, projects are marked abandoned, and optional auto-delete removes them after a chosen 7-, 14-, or 30-day grace period. Auto-delete is off by default and covers published and unpublished projects. Editing, chatting in the editor, visits to the published app (excluding bot traffic), and backend function calls count as activity; opening, previewing, or publishing alone does not. Owners and editors receive warnings five and one day before deletion, and anyone with access can stop it by interacting with the project or choosing "Keep it." Deleted projects are recoverable for 60 days, after which the project, history, and chat are permanently deleted; its lovable.app address may be claimed in the meantime. The article frames cleanup as a way to address lingering access credentials, unfixed vulnerabilities, retained personal information, and unclear ownership. Its Halloween game uses fictional projects and does not access or delete real ones.
