After 35 days in the Trash Can, Analytics permanently deletes the entity, and records the deletion in Change History, with the user identified as Analytics System.

Trash Can is a temporary holding area for accounts, properties, and views before they are deleted. 

How to prevent this from future loss.

You can prevent this by doing certain things on monthly basis.


  1. Make sure your Google Analytics Administrators are properly trained and understand the consequences of what possible errors.  
  2. Allow a fully trained professional to full admin access and everyone else should be set up with user access.
  3. Do a monthly audit of User's and users permission, so that only the person with analytics skill can access this account.

That way you will never have to worry about accidentally deleting the google analytics account.
