Usage Note

Archiviare is used both literally (filing documents in an archivio) and figuratively — Italian prosecutors can archiviare un caso (close a case) when there is insufficient evidence to proceed. The figurative sense of 'shelving' or 'putting something aside for good' is very common in everyday speech.

Examples

"Dobbiamo archiviare tutti i documenti."

Natural Translation
