What Does Data Purging Mean?
Data purging is the process of permanently removing obsolete data from a specific storage location when it is no longer required.
Techopedia Explains Data Purging
Many database management tools include automatic purging features. For example, some Microsoft products support an automatic purge technique that uses a circular buffer methodology, in which older data is automatically purged to make way for newer data. In other cases, administrators must manually purge data from the database.
