SPR# ADEE5ZTF2K - The Soft Delete duration value was not working at the specified time. Internally in Notes/Domino, the soft delete duration value is stored in two different places. One of the places the soft delete duration value is stored is in the Icon note of the database. The Icon note is what replicates around to other servers. This is also where the value that displays in the Database Properties dialog box is extracted from when looking at the Database Properties.
The other place that the soft delete duration value is stored is the SoftDeleteRetainDuration field in the database header. This field is what the software actually uses when determining how long to hold documents in the Trash folder. The problem of documents being removed after the default 48 hours even though you changed the time to something else occurs because this field reverts back to the default 48 hours once the design task runs on the database.
Therefore, when looking at the value in Notes or DWA, the value you are looking at is what was initially changed by the user, not the value that is actually stored in the SoftDeleteRetainDuration field. The fix prevents the SoftDeleteRetainDuration getting overwritten when Design task runs.
This problem has been fixed in 6.0.5, 6.5.4, and 6.5.3 FP1
Technote Number: 1169807

This Design task was unintentionally resetting a value in the database Header.
This issue was reported to Quality Engineering and has been addressed in Domino

Database
SPR# ADEE5ZTF2K - The Soft Delete duration value was not working at the
specified time. Internally in Notes/Domino, the soft delete duration value is
stored in two different places. One of the places the soft delete duration
value is stored is in the Icon note of the database. The Icon note is what
replicates around to other servers. This is also where the value that displays
in the Database Properties dialog box is extracted from when looking at the
Database Properties.
The other place that the soft delete duration value is stored is the
SoftDeleteRetainDuration field in the database header. This field is what the
software actually uses when determining how long to hold documents in the Trash
folder. The problem of documents being removed after the default 48 hours even
though you changed the time to something else occurs because this field reverts
back to the default 48 hours once the design task runs on the database.
Therefore, when looking at the value in Notes or DWA, the value you are looking
at is what was initially changed by the user, not the value that is actually
stored in the SoftDeleteRetainDuration field. The fix prevents the
SoftDeleteRetainDuration getting overwritten when Design task runs.
Note: The fix for this issue has introduced a regression issue described in
the following document: "Soft Deleted Documents Are Deleted Immediately when
Database Is Closed and Reopened" (#1206090).
