Un-referenced files in cache vault

I find the amount of un-referenced files in our vaults gradually increasing, I took a week off and came back to find the disk almost full.

I can remove them easily enough but I thought 'Automatic Cleanup' should remove them, the docs talks about creating a rule in the Automated cleanup of replica vaults window?

"For replica vaults, you can select or clear the Automatic cleanup of older content checkbox. When this checkbox is selected, automatic cleanups are performed on this vault according to the rules and schedule that are specified in the Automated cleanup of replica vaults window."

 

Where is the window?

@rhart , hi

 

I think you are referring to the window that opens when you select "Define Content Cleanup Rules".

See image below.

I believe this is the window you are looking for.

FYI, Another way to do this is to write your own class that get scheduled to run at any interval you want.

An advantage of this technique is it allows you to schedule ANYTHING not just removing unreferenced files.

 

In the image below I created own own Schedule Queue (not required but wanted to keep our custom stuff separated from OOTB Schedule Queues).

We wanted the unreferenced files remove on the weekend (first Saturday of every month) which does not seem possible OOTB.

OOTB you'll notice is limited to intervals in number of days, weeks or months.

Hope this helps,
