On the free plan, Apify stores the ten most recent runs for a maximum of 4 months. On paid plans, the retention period of the plan applies. Unnamed storages and runs beyond the latest ten will be automatically deleted according to these retention periods. Named storages are retained indefinitely.

To ensure indefinite retention of your storages, assign them a name. This can be done via Apify Console or through our API. First, you'll need your store's ID. You can find it in the details of the run that created it. In Apify Console, head over to your run's details and select the **Dataset**, **Key-value store**, or **Request queue** tab as appropriate. Check that store's details, and you will find its ID among them.

To name your storage via API, get its ID from the run that generated it using the [Get run](/api/v2/actor-run-get) endpoint. You can then give it a new name using the `Update \[storage\]` endpoint. For example, [Update dataset](/api/v2/dataset-put).
