File Deletion Mechanism in Alfresco
Document Management System :

  • When user delete files, it will go directly to the Recycle
    Bin/Deleted Items. And it will remain there forever until user/admin
    permanently delete from : Profile in the “Manage Deleted Items” section
  • After that, the physical file will still exist in
    “alf_data/contentstore” directory. Only after passing
    system.content.orphanProtectDays (in repository.properties), physical
    files will be moved from “alf_data/contentstore” directory to
    “alf_data/contentstore.deleted” directory. The default value is 14 days.
  • After that the admin manually/automatically using scheduler can
    erase
    the contents of “alf_data/contentstore.deleted
    ” directory

It’s a bit tricky, since Alfresco is designed handle file deletion
carefully.

Some values that need to be adjusted in repository.properties:

  • system.content.orphanProtectDays is the duration how many days
    deleted files will be moved from “contentstore” directory to
    “contentstore.deleted” directory
  • system.content.orphanCleanup.cronExpression = 0 0 4 * * ? means
    the scheduler will run every morning at 4.
