hard delete; physical deletion
Computing term for permanently removing data from storage, as opposed to logical deletion (論理削除) which only marks data as deleted. Often used in database and file system contexts.
See also: 論理削除
Once you perform a hard delete, the data cannot be recovered.
このシステムでは、論理削除の後に一定期間が経過すると自動的に物理削除が行われます。
In this system, physical deletion is automatically performed after a certain period following logical deletion.
論理削除 (logical deletion) marks data as deleted without actually removing it, while 物理削除 permanently erases the data.
Compound of 物理 (physical) and 削除 (deletion). A technical term likely coined in Japanese computing contexts as a direct translation of the English concept.
