Automatically Delete Media

Kieran edited this page Apr 3, 2024 · 1 revision

As of 0.1.7 you can set a source to automatically delete media after a certain number of days. To set it up, simply set the Retention Period (days) field on a Source. A few tips/caveats to be aware of:

  • You can manually prevent certain media from being deleted by viewing a Media Item, clicking "Edit", and enabling Prevent Automatic Deletion
  • The retention period is relative to when the media was downloaded, not when it was uploaded to YouTube. This is intentional. If you need to filter by upload date, check out the Cutoff Date setting for a Source
  • Media deletion happens once daily, but the time may be different depending on your timezone. If you accidentally set a retention period incorrectly, you likely have some time to revert it if you act fast
