   30 days seems to be the standard trash delete for all my stuff. Gmail,   
    Samsung phone, my online Google Drive, my Chromebooks, this Chrome tablet,   
    etc.

   On Chromebooks (and this tablet) the installed Files app has both local   
    files and online Google Drive files and they also share the same trash bin.   
      
   The trash feature has saved me several times over the years. Especially when   
    I get pissed and delete something and then later have a change of heart.   
    Like Usenet? Nah...  8-O
