   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**.
