Expired Data Cleanup

The Observer ecosystem has daily processes in place to clean up expired data without any user intervention. In the event any expired clips, closed captions, or other data is missed during these the processes, you can manually remove expired data in the Expired Data Cleanup panel, located at Maintenance> Settings> Expired Data Cleanup.
