Content Cleanup: It is recommended as a best practice to limit Blackboard course and organization site size to 1 GB or under. This ensures better performance and functionality of the Blackboard site, and reduces storage costs for NDSU. Please view our Check Course Size & Cleanup Unused Content in Blackboard - Original & Ultra KB page to know more about course content collection cleanup process.

Zoom Cloud Storage Cleanup: Zoom cloud recordings are meant to be temporary (current semester or less). OneDrive should be used for longer-term storage. If you used Zoom during the semester and recorded your class sessions to the cloud, download any recordings you would like to keep and delete the rest. To learn more about this process visit Zoom Cloud Recording Management. If you plan to reuse any recordings please be aware of the NDSU FERPA Policy. For more information about the NDSU retention schedule please visit our Video Recording Purge (Delete) Schedule KB page. 

YuJa Video Storage Cleanup: YuJa is not intended as a long-term storage platform. YuJa videos that have not been viewed for 1(one) year are removed on a rolling basis. If you plan to reuse any recordings please beware of the NDSU FERPA Policy. For more information about the NDSU retention schedule please visit our Video Recording Purge (Delete) Schedule KB page.
