## Limitations

### Handling future ingestion of sensitive data

Customers must manage the future ingestion of sensitive data using [Processing Rules](/docs/send-data/collection/processing-rules). Deletion requests will only apply to data that has already been indexed, not to data that will be ingested in the future.

### Deletion scope

Deletion is restricted to partitions and the default view (sumologic_default) in Sumo Logic. Deletion is currently not supported for other view types, such as [Scheduled Views](/docs/manage/scheduled-views) or ad hoc views created using the save view operator. Sensitive data may still be present in these unsupported views.

### Deletion request limit

Each deletion request is limited to 100,000 messages. This means that any deletion operation can only target up to 100,000 messages at a time.

<!-- is this available now?
Auditing of the following activities:
-Number of Logs that have been masked/redacted/deleted.
-Daily Summary of Statistics, indicating number of queries matching each rule to make it easy for Admins to understand which rule still has data that is being hit.
