# AUTOMATIC DELETION OF FILES

You can have document filing data in specified folders automatically deleted by specifying the folders and the time. Periodic deletion of files stored in the machine helps to prevent the disclosure of sensitive information and frees space on the hard drive.
Every day, every week, or every month can be selected for the deletion cycle, and a time can be set for each selection.
Example: Deleting files in the Quick File folder every week on Friday at 6:00 PM
To automatically delete document filing data periodically:
In "Setting mode", select [System Settings] → [Document Filing Settings] → [Automatic Deletion of File Settings].
To check the settings:
Print the list.

- To check the set deletion cycle:
  In "Setting mode", select [System Settings] → [List Print] → [Administrator Settings List], and print a list of the administrator settings including document filing settings.
- To check information on the folders selected for file deletion:
  In "Setting mode", select [System Settings] → [List Print (User)] and print a list of the folders of document filing.

When you specify automatic deletion of document filing data takes place periodically, all files in the specified folders will be deleted when the set time arrives. Exercise care not to store files that you wish to keep in folders specified for file deletion.
