i created an archive set on a new client, content is on an azure file share, we want to delete the files after archive so selected this option on the subclient properties but the files are still there after the archive job runs.
any ideas?

Hello
The feature does not just remove item after archive, there are a number of rules that have to be met that are configured by you.
Can you please share the rules that are set in this case and confirm they have all been met by the file you are expected to be deleted?

Hi Albert,
thanks for your reply.
I ran the job on a test folder, all the files were archived as expected based on the rules I selected, as below:
Archiving rules User defined
File timestamp
Last modified 0 days ago
File size
Minimum file size 0 KB
After archiving
Delete the file
am I missing something?

Hello
Can you confirm the Free disk space settings as well?
The purpose of this feature is to keep you disk space low, if it is already low then there is no need for us to delete an item even if it meets the outlined criteria.
Kind regards
