# Schedule Deletion of Generated Files

As an administrator, you may want to delete older generated files or content to free up space in the Pentaho Repository.

From the Pentaho User Console, perform the following steps:

1. Click on **Administration** in the drop-down menu on the upper right, then click on **Settings**.

   The Settings page appears.

   ![Settings for Deleting Generated Files](/files/XonaNePOfGtwdxuO4glI)
2. To manually delete generated files now, confirm the age of the files to be deleted, then press **Delete Now**.

   The generated files older than the specified age are deleted.
3. To schedule regular deletion of generated files, press **Schedule Deletion**, then once the Schedule Deletionwindow appears, perform the following steps:
   1. Enter an age for the generated files in the field specifying number of days.
   2. Choose a time interval for the schedule from the **Recurrence** list.
   3. Choose a **Start Time** and a **Recurrence Pattern**, as well as**Start Date** and **End Date** for the scheduled deletion, then click **OK**.

Your deletion schedule is created and the generated files older than the specified age are deleted during the scheduled times.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pba/pentaho-user-console/classic-design/about-pentaho-user-console-perspectives/schedules/schedule-reports/manage-schedules/schedule-deletion-of-generated-files.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
