DocumentInfo.Delete leaves orphaned data in propval metadata table

As the title states, DocumentInfo.Delete leaves orphaned data in propval metadata table. Is this by design or should I use a different delete method such as Entry.Delete?

I read that Entry.Delete is more efficient but also read that DocumentInfo.Delete should work fine as long as you call DocumentInfo.Save.

My guess is that the document is in the recycle bin. When it is purged from the recycle bin, then the propval data should be deleted.

@████████ I will check that out.

I double checked and you are correct. Thanks.

If you want an entire entry removed from the Recycle Bin also, then you can use the PurgeEntry method under Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess.

RecycleBin.PurgeEntry(EntryId,Session);

However, this method only seems to work on complete documents or folders. A different approach is needed for deleted pages and such.

Also note that even if an entry is purged, it is not removed immediately. A scheduled maintenance process runs to actually remove purged entries from the database.
