AutoDelete Media Settings

Media Auto-Delete Settings

📁 Media Auto-Delete Settings

Automatically remove media files from the system based on their moderation status and upload date.

Important: Both Delete Media Interval and Delete Media Status must be configured. If either is set to “Do Not Delete Media Automatically,” no media will be deleted.

🔧 Where to Find These Settings

Located in Project Settings → Media Auto-Delete Settings.
Settings can be applied at the Project level or per Channel.
Channel settings override Project settings.

⚠️ Notes and Warnings

Permissions required: Enable mediafactory.autoDeleteMediaSettings on the Manage Vhost page to access these settings.
