Greetings,

I had a similar question. At this point, would the metadata not be a record that needs a separate record retention plan? Thus, would you need to potentially proved when metadata was removed (as it is a record), meaning that you must keep metadata on metadata, and so on?

All the best,

Saving metadata would be the ideal solution however is that really practical?  
Over the course of time you could be destroying millions of records in addition to adding millions of new records to the system.  This retained metadata then becomes a resource hog and affects the performance of the ERM system.  
This retained metadata should have retention rules applied to the system but how do you do that?
