# Automatic Message Purge

You can purge message storage automatically by programming a daily time for the purge to run (the default setting is '0' or midnight). Message disposal parameters are dictated by the LCOS settings for each mailbox.

To configure automatic message purge:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, (R) Reconfiguration, (R) Reconfigure System, (G) Offline Menu, and then (B) Duplicate Active Configuration

2. Select (S) Auto Task Menu and then (B) Auto Purge.

3. Select (A) Hour to Run Purge= and enter the hour at which you want the purge to start. (0 is midnight.)

4. Select (B) Delay after Message Wait Off Request and enter the amount of time to delay after the "message waiting off" request is sent. By default this value is set to 0. Enter any valid value between 0 and 50 (increments are .1 seconds so a setting of 10 = 1 second). Use this value when slower MWI methods like DMTF-to-PBX are used.

5. Exit to the main menu to save the changes to the offline configuration. You will need to activate the inactive configuration before your changes take effect.
