Google updates : Google Drive trash items will be automatically deleted after 30 days starting on October 13, 2020.
Previously, trashed items would be retained indefinitely until the trash was emptied by the user. However, with this new update from Google, the retention policies for items in the Trash in Google Drive will be automatically deleted after 30 days.
However, the Google Workspace Administrator are still in control to restore the items deleted for the users within 25 days, and the Google Vault retention policy is not affected by this changes unless the pre-set retention period is expired.
