Maybe MPSs should have disclaimers in their contracts that state that there is never any responsibility for any files marked, indicated, or filed for deletion, trash, etc.

MSPs shouldn't take it as their job to empty a customers deleted items. Regardless of the fact that the deleted items are meant to be emptied out regularly.

MSPs encompass customer service - often there to do any number of tasks for a customer. Given that often the role of IT is to do what customers can't do or won't do or are confused about, there is essentially no task that can be ruled out as "not their job". MSP = IT, and IT = business, and to some degree, everything in a company falls within that purview.

I get the argument. I do, but as the IT person would you go and empty the CEO's delete items without asking them?

Windshield time. Moron on a cell phone drove off with the fuel hose in the car. Girl hits the e-Stop (which is what we want), but the dispensers don't always talk after power is restored.
No talky, no pumpy, no go vroom, vroomSounds like a fun morning.
Yeh. Breakaways don't always break away like they should

If I'm there to fix a problem that that would help, yes. They've already marked them for deletion. If they need support because they don't know to empty the deleted folder, then yes, that's my job.
Reverse it, as a CEO would you ever have any reasonable expectation that things you deleted weren't actually deleted? Nope. None. Nada.

I was just listening to some random music and heard a song I liked, searched for the artist and found out she'll be performing tonight in Mexico City! (I obviously just bought a ticket)

that lots of crazy people do something in absolutely no way affects the answer I asked for. If lots of crazy people do something obvious and foolish, they should always expect the obvious outcome.

Had a positive Zoom Meeting with a coworker demoing Snipe-IT. Currently each campus location is require to maintain an inventory of student laptops using a spreadsheet and then submitted each month to him. I hope this works out, because I can't stand using spreadsheets for inventory.

I'd go insane if I had to try and reconcile spreadsheets for inventory. . .

@Dashrender Ouch, never seen that before. Hope I never do.
-
@DustinB3403 and that's our situation. Spreadsheets for most things with a few Word and Text files thrown in for a variety of insanity.
-
What I like about SnipeIT even though we aren't using it. Is it cost $400 a year for it to be completely
hostedmanaged.That's not a lot, for the functionality that can be had from it.
