How can I check config file for cleanup settings related to options in dialog box attached?
Is there any admin-user setting to control Cleanup options (from checkboxes)?
Should it clean up \Users\GBLonSVCClarity\AppData\Local\temp folder as well? - it isn't.
The folder you mention would be your user's %TEMP% folder.
It should attempt a cleanup of these folders once-per-day.
The log should show the attempt to cleanup.
Yes I see log about cleanup (below). However, Clarity is cleaning some of the files called 'old' Which one are old? How can we check/control over those selection? For example, there are over 14k files in folder. Clarity deleted only 3417. I was able to delete over 10k when clearing files older than 2 days and 'not in use'.

In the ClarityTaskService.config file (under the C:\ProgramData\... folder hierarchy), there are a couple of internal settings about how many "DaysToKeep" of files of different categories... any file that is older than that will be cleaned out.
- RevitTempFiles
- ArtifactFiles
- BIM360Cache (default: 7 days)
For certain other areas that we clean, it is a fixed value:
- TEMP: 2 days
- CEF Cache: immediate
- IPC Files: immediate
Hi Matt,
Firstly, many thanks for response! I've started looking deeper into the topic.
I've checked ClarityTaskService.config file and it's clearing only following follders:
"C:\ClarityArtifacts" and "C:\ClarityTemp" .
Within this config there is no path directing to %TEMP% (which is: C:\Users\GBLonSVCClarity\AppData\Local\Temp) folder.
Amount of files in %TEMP% is reaching +20k if we're not running own powershell cleanup/
I don't want to modify file on my own, could we add %temp% folder for Clarity auto cleanup?
