# NodeTableSecureDelete

Set `NodeTableSecureDelete` to `True` to use secure delete mode. In secure delete mode, content is permanently overwritten when the delete action is processed, rather than when a DRECOMPACT index action runs.

For any deletion (DREDELETEDOC, DREDELETEREF, KillDuplicates, and so on), IDOL Server overwrites the document permanently. You cannot retrieve the document with the DREUNDELETEDOC index action (even if you turn off `NodeTableSecureDelete`). You must still run a DRECOMPACT index action to free the disk space.
