Auto Delete in Library

Auto delete is an option you can set which files in a folder that needs have to be deleted after different parameters. Select the folder you would like to add auto delete too. Press the options icon at the bottom of the library. There are three options on how to set the delete options.

• Automatically delete based on file age
• Automatically delete based on file count(quota)
• Automatically delete by a specific date

You can set Auto-delete to, for example, delete the master files and converted files but keep the proxy previews. Set to delete folders and do it recursively. Recursive means that Auto-delete will look down in the subfolders too. This screen dump shows where the Master and Converted files will be deleted after seven days but leave the proxy preview.

 

You will see that the files that have been deleted with auto delete have the option to be restored until the trash cycle has been run.
Auto-delete files are unaffected if you run the "Empty trash now" button and will only be deleted after the "x" of days the trash setting is set to before they are 100% deleted. See also Trash Settings
