    Example

    tmp_cleanup.deletablefolders

    The list of folders within SharedFolders that should be deleted. Separate multiple folder names using a semicolon (;). 

    
tmp_cleanup.deletablefolders=web-service-folder;scannedImages;upload-batch-folder;temp;

    tmp_cleanup.cleanup_age

    Specifies in hours how old a file must be before it will be deleted. 

    tmp_cleanup.cleanup_age=24

    This means that files will be deleted 24 hours after their creation.

    This means the cleanup job will run every day at 12 PM.

    The properties only apply to temp folders contained in SharedFolders.
