Why is using Bulk API’s hard delete advantageous for large data volumes?

Using Bulk API's hard delete is advantageous for large data volumes because it immediately frees up space without retaining items in the Recycle Bin. In scenarios where organizations need to manage a vast amount of data efficiently, a hard delete ensures that the deleted records do not occupy storage space and are removed from the system entirely without the possibility of recovery through the Recycle Bin. This immediate space reclamation can be crucial for maintaining system performance, reducing storage costs, and ensuring compliance with data retention policies, allowing for better overall database management.

The other options, while they address aspects of data management, do not provide the same level of immediate space efficiency that a hard delete offers. Retaining deletion records for recovery, deleting records more slowly but safely, and allowing for real-time data deletion are not the primary advantages associated with Bulk API's hard delete, especially in the context of managing large data volumes where space management is a critical concern.
