Cleanup Service preferences
The Cleanup Service defines how entities in the Connect Server Module are cleaned up when
they have been left unused. The values below only define when the specified objects are set
for deletion, not when they are actually deleted. Items are only deleted when the cron job runs
on its schedule, or when the Run Now button is pressed in this dialog.
The more items are present in your database, and the larger they are, the more time and processing power
(CPU) will be used to clean them up. It is recommended to clean up the database as often as possible,
especially if you are not retrieving items from the database at a later date. You may also set the database
cleanup outside of business hours (see the cron schedule option below).
