I have a situation where I need to shut down some of our unused sandboxes. I have gone through Salesforce's documentations regarding this. But the documents doesn't provide much insight on this. The documents just state below.

Deleting a sandbox permanently erases the sandbox and all data in it, including any outbound change sets that have been uploaded from the sandbox.

I have some additional questions regarding this.

1. What does it mean deleting an outbound change sets? Will it delete everything from the production that has deployed from the sandbox that is being shut down?

2.Can't we copy the outbound change sets of the sandbox that is being shut down in a different sandbox ?

Hope my questions make sense. Hoping to get a feedback from fellow community members.
