Remove deleted entries: All deleted documents and folders are removed from ELO.

Remove deleted document versions and versions of the attachment: All deleted document versions and deleted attachment versions are permanently removed from ELO.

Deletion date until: Enter a date here. All entries that were deleted before the specified date are permanently removed from ELO. Alternatively, you can also use the Calendar function. Click the calendar icon in the Deletion date until field and select a date.

OK: If you click OK, all entries that have a deletion marker before the entered deletion date are permanently removed from ELO.
