- range 0-365 Description
When Storage Sense runs, it can delete files in the user’s Recycle Bin if they have been there for over a certain amount of days. If the group policy "Allow Storage Sense" is disabled, then this policy does not have any effect. Enabled: You must provide the minimum age threshold (in days) of a file in the Recycle Bin before Storage Sense will delete it. Supported values are: 0 - 365. If you set this value to zero, Storage Sense will not delete files in the user’s Recycle Bin. The default is 30 days. Disabled or Not Configured: By default, Storage Sense will delete files in the user’s Recycle Bin that have been there for over 30 days. Users can configure this setting in Storage settings.
