There was no big difference in information between these commands¹:

The GitLab.com risk of having “Inactive project deletion” disabled and “Delayed project deletion” enabled
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/05/27
After the 2022 GitLab.com backlash* to auto-delete “inactive” (for whichever metric of “inactive”) repositories of free users, I thought they would have multiple checks in place to prevent that from happening.
TL;DR: of two possible checks to prevent this, only one is in place.
This means that if by accident one of those checks stops working, all inactive repositories will be be deleted after a 7 day retention period. Which is very short, especially when you miss the email about it (for instance because of holiday or health reasons).
That bad!
