[rudder-users] Trash node

[Nicolas Charles]

Hi,

when a node is deleted, its data are indeed not completely removed:
- inventory is still stored in LDAP, in the ou=Removed Inventory
- technical logs are not purged directly, but have the same lifecycle 
than all other reports
- generated policies are not deleted ( see 
https://www.rudder-project.org/redmine/issues/4709 )

So, if the deleted node sends a new inventory, and you accept it, you'll 
get back all its information, as for a standard node

Would you like a script to completly purge the data of the nodes ? or 
something in the web interface ?

Kind regards,
Nicolas
