Hello, Long story short I am purging closed clients and it's going unbelievably slowly. I am trying to purge the database from everything from our closed clients. When I run the purge, I select "Closed" clients and nothing else, no other filters…

When I set a client/matter as Closed and then use the Purge tool, it certainly seems like the client/matter is gone, but is it still in the database, just marked as something else. OR does it get completely removed from the database? Thanks
