Error description

• The current Deploy Info Center does not explain whether the
  clean up setting can affect/remove component versions that are
  attached to a snapshot.
  
  
  Cleaning up component versions
  You can configure the server to reduce the number of component
  versions by archiving old versions.
  
  Procedure
  
  Click Settings > System Settings.
  Under Artifact Cleanup, in the Days to Keep Versions field,
  specify the minimum age in days to save a component version. For
  example, to keep all component versions that are five days old
  or newer, specify 5. If you specify -1, all versions are saved.
  In the Number of Versions to Keep field, specify the minimum
  number of versions to keep. For example, to save the five most
  recent component versions, specify 5. If you specify -1, all
  versions are saved.
  When the server runs the cleanup, it deletes or archives all
  component versions that older than the minimum age; however, the
  server retains at least the number of versions in the Number of
  Versions to Keep field.
  
  To preview the component versions that will be archived the next
  time an archive file is created, on the System Settings tab,
  click the Preview Version Cleanup link and select a component.
