Error description

• Archived copy of directories may not be removed from the server
  by EXPIRE INVENTORY even after directories exceed days of RETVER
   and all files and sub directories were already expired.  The
  issue can happen when other directories of the same level under
  the same directory are bound with the different mgmtclass which
  has longer retention period of RETVER.  Directories bound with
  shorter retention period could not be expired till they reach
  longer retention period.
  
  Here is an example of output of query archive:
