Grace Period Until Packages are Definitely Deleted [Days]

Distribution

Description:

Use this setting to specify when the packages will be deleted from the distribution target directory.
The default grace period is 5 days: If this period is over and the packages are still not available in the distribution source directory, they will be deleted permanently from the distribution target directory as well.
