<div><div class="section"><p>You can delete a collection object from the system by right-clicking
the object and selecting <span class="uicontrol">Delete</span>. If you do not delete
the objects manually, Collection Services will delete them automatically after
the expiration date and time.</p>
<p>Collection Services deletes only <span class="uicontrol">cycled</span> management
collection objects. A status of <span class="uicontrol">Cycled</span> means that
Collection Services has stopped collecting data and storing it in the object.
The status of each management collection object is shown in the list of collection
objects when you expand <span class="uicontrol">Configuration and Service</span> and
select <span class="uicontrol">Collection Services</span>.</p>
<p>Collection Services
deletes the cycled collection objects that have reached their expiration date
and time the next time it starts or cycles a collection. The expiration date
is associated with the management collection object. Even if you move the
collection object to another library, Collection Services will delete the
object after it expires.</p>
<p>The expiration date for each management collection
object is shown in the Properties for that collection object. To keep the
object on the system longer, you simply change the date on the Properties
page. Right-click any management collection object in the list and select <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span> to
see the information about that collection. You can specify <span class="uicontrol">Permanent</span> if
you do not want Collection Services to delete your management collection objects
for you.</p>
