I have items in Archive that I don't remember putting there
Older versions of 1Password 7 for Mac had a bug where, if you moved an item from one vault to another, a copy of that item would also get archived in the source vault. Do you see duplicates of the items that you don't remember archiving in other vaults?
The difference in meaning is important, but it's not clear if the thing titled "Archive" is a vault or just a flag on items that are otherwise held in other vaults.
The latter. Each vault has its own Archive and if you delete a vault you delete that vault's Archive as well.
Either way, the archive feature need more clear documentation, as does that of "Recently Deleted" - like do items get permanently deleted from the latter? Automatically? If so, when?
Recently Deleted items are stored for one year and are purged afterwards. You can find documentation here: View and restore previous versions of items
I hope that helps. 😊
