     This will remove any older events from the list of audit events - for example, movement history - leaving only the number of events you specified.

     NOTE: This field is limited to three characters, making a total maximum of 999 events per record.

   - Remove previous revisions created before - removes all electronic document revisions from any records that were created prior to the date selected. Use the provided calendar to select a date.
   - Remove content indexes created before - removes all electronic documents from the content indexing process that were created prior to the date selected. Use the provided calendar to select a date.
   - Recalculate word index usage counts and remove orphaned words - checks to ensure that any indexes for a word type are valid, such as ensuring a classification word does not appear in the title index table; removes any indexes and words that are stop words; removes any words that don't have any indexes and also updates the counters for all words.
   - Remove all additional field values no longer associated with record types - select this option to remove any Additional Field values on records for Additional Field that are no longer being used by their Record Types.
   - Bulk delete all access control groups that are no longer referenced - select this option to remove access control groups that are no longer used. Organisations with high numbers of access control groups should run this Data Cleanup option regularly rather than relying on the slower System Monitor event processor.
