File and folder management related

File expiration tasks are used to automatically move all files that match certain criteria to a specified expiration directory, where an administrator can then back those files up and delete them.
Can we automate deletion process as well ?
...
If the server is configured to track timestamps for when files were last accessed, this will result in the file management task only being applied to files that have not been accessed for more than the specified number of days. If the server is not configured to track accessed times, this condition will be ineffective.
How to configure server to track timestamps ?
Note: Enabling last access timestamps on the [Windows] filer may impact the filer's performance, due to the extra file write requirement per client access.

Seems that only Server 2019 has Storage Sense :
.SYNOPSIS
Configures Storage Sense Settings, including locally availabel cloud content preferences for Windows 10 / Windows Server 2019

File can't be renamed, opened or deleted; its properties can't be viewed or unlocker'd either

If you intend to delete the file anyway, try to delete it from DOS using 'del' command

Auto delete old files
--------------------
Google keyword:
auto|schedule delete|remove date|old file folder
