Deleting Streams or Using Dynamic Streams
The quick question is: When I delete a stream, is it truly deleted or is it archived?
I would like to be able to dynamically create streams for specific activities and then delete those streams when I am done. This could lead to many streams being created over time, so if they are not truly deleted, what is the impact on the repository over time?

Hi,
as far as my understanding goes, the stream is deleted. The stream itself is a small object because it only selects the content. The change sets that make the content are not deleted.
You can create a stream from a snapshot any time, do something with it, create another snapshot, delete the stream it and recreate the initial or the last content from the snapshots again.
Your repository will grow over time. But the impact on the repositories size are the change sets you can not delete, rather than the streams.
