If you have 1Password items you don’t often use or that you no longer need, you can archive or delete them to keep your information organized in 1Password, so you only see the items you want.
Archived items won’t appear in search results, and 1Password won’t suggest them when you fill in apps and browsers. You can keep archived items as long as you’d like, and you can restore them from the Archive at any time.
Deleted items remain available for 30 days, but you can permanently delete items from Recently Deleted at any time.
