Hi, could you please consider the possibility of not losing the revision history when we delete our decks or cards? I mention this because over the years, some decks become unnecessary to study (at least in my case). And when I delete it, I lose my history and can’t see my revision progress over time.

Thank you for the excellent work you’ve done with Anki. This software has changed my life.

The revision history is not deleted, but because your cards are removed, it will no longer be visible when looking at a particular deck. You can still see it when viewing your collection stats. Alternatively, you could suspend the cards instead of deleting them.
