Automatic Quarantine Cleanup
In case of disk overflow, the Quarantine cleanup is executed:
1.Backup copies of Quarantine files will be deleted in the first place.
2.In a shortage of disk space, Quarantine files with expired storage time will be deleted.

If the Quarantine is overflowed and automatically cleanup failed, moving files to the Quarantine will proceed with an error. In this case, you can enlarge the Quarantine size in the Quarantine properties → Set quarantine size section or delete Quarantine files manually. |
