Hello, When someone delete a message, the records are still inside the DB (postgresql in my case) for some time. I would like to know at what time they get deleted from the DB too and how i could modify this time. Thanks, Nikolay

Deleted posts stay inside the DB for some time

Deleted posts are not removed from the database. This is because Mattermost was designed to have a complete audit history of messages.
