 Set purge / aging properties: 

If you want the system to automatically purge aged unreferenced items without you clicking through the UI,  consider setting below properties 

wt.fv.purgeUnreferencedFvItemsInterval (days between purges; default 1)
wt.fv.purgeUnreferencedFvItemsOlderThan (age threshold in days; default 30)
wt.fv.purgeUnreferencedMORItemsOlderThan (age for MasteredOnReplicaItems; default 30, min 2)
wt.fv.purgeUnreferencedFilesOlderThan (age threshold for physical files when “Remove Unreferenced Files” is run)

 

Validate on  a test server first and make sure the sync is working smooth

@AP_10483126 implement you own custom code,  Atos is a partner and should have enough knowledge
