Viewing retention policies

Retention shows the deletion policies for a folder or file. The Retention Administrator establishes policies that determine how long a file remains in the MFT system.

  • Retention policies can delete files after a period of inactivity, a specified duration, or a set date.

  • A permanent retention policy is available for long-term record retention.

To learn more, refer to the MFT Administration Guide.
