title: Artifactory - Explicity clean up old snapshots
body: <p>According to <a href="http://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Managing+Disk+Space+Usage#ManagingDiskSpaceUsage-LimitingtheNumberofSnapshots" rel="nofollow">docs</a>, we may setup <em>Max Unique Snapshots</em> to discard old snapshots of an artifact at each new deploy.</p>
  
  <p>And as written:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Redundant snapshots are not deleted immediately Every 5 minutes,
    Artifactory runs a background process that checks the value of Max
    Unique Snapshots and deletes the oldest snapshots beyond that number.
    For example, if you currently have 7 snapshots and set Max Unique
    Snapshots to 5 then next time the background process runs, it will
    delete the 2 oldest snapshots.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I have two questions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Is that '5 minutes scheduler' configurable? It seems not working properly (tested in version 2.6.4).</p></li>
  <li><p>What about any troubles with performance/slowing down server if I have an Artifactory with 3 years+ with around 250gb? Will that job work normally and as expected?</p></li>
  </ul>
