Trash, and what Livo never deletes

Two steps

Deleting a photo, Memory, capsule, person or place moves it to the Trash (Organize › Trash), where it waits until you Restore it or Empty Trash (or Delete Forever on one item). The Trash never empties itself.

What Empty Trash removes

• A photo: Livo’s record and its small copy. The photo in Photos (or OneDrive) is untouched, and Livo remembers not to import it again.
• A Memory: the story, order and narration.
• A Time Capsule: its record and its file on this phone (a copy you kept in a folder is removed only if you choose Delete and Remove Its Copies; a Keepsake’s copy is never removed).
• A Bucket (Curator): only the empty Bucket itself. Deleting a Bucket first sends its photos back to the Gallery.
• A person or place: the entry itself. Restoring a merged person or place undoes the merge.

The confirmation names the consequence for that kind of thing.

What Livo never deletes

Your photos and videos in Photos. Anything in iCloud Drive or OneDrive outside Livo’s own folders, or in another person’s account. Anything in a Keep-a-copy folder you chose, other than the capsule copies Livo itself wrote there. A Keepsake file. A capsule file you opened from the Files app. Nothing is ever deleted on its own, on a schedule, or because space is low.
