Description

Default value

Delete shortcuts in folders

Setting this makes Enterprise Vault delete shortcuts that are older than the age you specify. This does not affect the corresponding archived items. Users can still search for the archived items.

For example, you could choose to delete all shortcuts older than 12 months, but retain archived items for several years.

Not selected

Delete orphaned shortcuts

This setting makes Enterprise Vault delete shortcuts in public folders if the corresponding archived item has been deleted.

If you use shortcuts that contain text from the original message, those shortcuts might be useful to users even though the archived items have been deleted. However, deleting large shortcuts will regain space in the Exchange Server store.
