Managing collection objects

You can delete a collection object from the system. If you do not delete the objects manually, Collection Services will delete them automatically after the expiration date and time.

Collection Services deletes the cycled collection objects that have reached their expiration date and time the next time it starts or cycles a collection. The expiration date is associated with the management collection object. Collection Services deletes only expired management collection objects that exist in the configured collection library.

The expiration date for each management collection object is shown in the Properties for that collection object. To keep the object on the system longer, you simply change the date on the Properties page. You can specify Permanent if you do not want Collection Services to delete your management collection objects for you.
