Does the starter plan delete your projects after 30 days?

I’m a bit confused about the limitations

TIA

Hi @Aimee_Jade_Nel,

The starter plan doesn’t delete your projects after 30 days.

  • When you delete a file, Figma will remove the file from the project for all collaborators. Then, you will be able to access the file from your deleted files folder.
  • View, restore, and permanently delete files in the Deleted tab of your Drafts. Figma stores deleted files indefinitely, until you or another collaborator deletes them forever.
    Hope it clears out, you can also find more information in our article “Delete and Restore files”, here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047512294-Delete-and-restore-files

Also, I think you mixed up with the version history? Members of Starter teams can only view 30 days of a file’s version history. More information on View a file’s version history here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038006754 Hope it helps!

Does view mean if I drop from professional to starter I will loose all version histories (so they are deleted) or can I access them again after upgrading to professional again (no matter when I do that)?

Hey @efiohw ,
If you Upgrade to a Professional team again, you’ll be able to access all versions right back to the creation of your file, even if that’s before you upgraded.
(The 30-day version history limit applies to version you can access, and not versions we store on our system. ) Hope this helps!

Hello, I just received that my education plan will expire in 3 days. Does that mean my starter teams (free) will also be deleted?

Hey @Farah_Kamila,

No - your files won’t be deleted, but keep in mind that you can only have 3 collaborative files within a Starter team. You’ll want to move any additional files into your Drafts.
