@Stephanie Hurt in general there's no default retention policy for content created in Atlassian Confluence. There is a period after your instance goes inactive (if you abandon a free version) in which Atlassian will delete the space including the underlying content.

Check out Content Retention Manager for Confluence on the Atlassian Marketplace. It simple and helps you keep your storage down, keep your spaces clean, and help with data retention compliance if you're going for ISO/SOC2.

@Tansu Akdeniz Thanks!  Do you know how it differs in the Cloud compared to Datacenter?
