Navigate to Data Vault > Storage Management to get an overview of the storage usage, including total storage size and available storage space.

Automatic Cleanup
Capture data rotates once storage usage reaches 80%. If the Cleanup Metadata option is enabled, older capture files and their metadata are deleted. If the Cleanup Metadata option is disabled, only capture files are deleted.

Note: Disabling the automatic cleanup of metadata will reduce the space for new capture files, and may slow down the dashboards visualization.

Scheduled Cleanup
Schedule a cleanup to remove metadata, capture files, or both, that are older than a certain number of hours, days, or weeks.

Manual Cleanup
Indexed capture metadata and capture files can be deleted via the Cleanup Index and Cleanup Captures buttons respectively. Selecting a time range will only delete data within this time range. If no time range is selected, all data will be deleted.

Note: Deletion of the indexed metadata in a time range will require more system resources and time. This may impact GUI performance, especially if a new capture is started while cleanup is in progress.
