How do I disable the “archive folder” functionality?

I can understand if some people need the safety net of an “archive folder”, but I don’t. When I delete something, it needs to be DELETED. I shouldn’t have to remember to hunt it down later and “really” delete it.

I’m hoping there’s already a setting somewhere to bypass this “archive folder” functionality, and just plain delete items. If not, consider this a feature request.

    Also, I just found that the apps have apparently been “archiving” items for some time, without telling me. There also needs to be a way to “delete all items” from the archive folder. PLEASE don’t tell me I’m going to have to manually delete 170+ items by hand, one at a time.

    Of course, you can choose the Delete option instead of the Archive option:

    The Archive is the name of what used to be the Trash. So those are items that you moved to the Trash until now :+1:

    Okay, so how do I quickly delete all 170+ items? (On iOS I mean ... turns out on macOS I can click one, CMD-A, and delete them all in one go.)

    (Apologies for the duplicate comment above, apparently iOS Safari in "private mode" doesn't show "comments" on some sites. I had to use the laptop to read and reply to this.)

    Also annoying, when I move an item from one vault to another it also gets “archived”.

    Doing this on macOS is indeed the fastest way: I am not aware of a way to do this on iOS unfortunately.

    No worries, I have removed the duplicate for you :+1:

    That's correct, this has always been the case (although in the past the items were moved to the Trash, since the Archive did not exist back then). I will let the team know that you don't like this behavior :+1:

    Thank you. I can see the point in doing this when deleting an entry, as a safety net, but not when moving from one vault to another.
