inakualitet

English translation: obsolete

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:inakualitet
English translation:obsolete

Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / Sorting/deletion plan
Swedish term or phrase: inakualitet
as in "gallras vid inaktualitet"

The full sentence is:
Följande handlingar ska gallras vid inaktualitet

When I looked up "inaktualitet" in Google, it seemed that this word practically ALWAYS appears in the phrase "gallras vid inaktualitet". My rough translation for this is "deleted when no longer current".

Does anyone know of a better translation for this?

staleness


Explanation:
I think I would recast the sentence to use a phrase like "stale data will be deleted," possibly substituting "outdated" or "obsolete" for "stale."

disagree  Janis Abens: stale data usually means data that should have been deleted, but reappears from a cache.
