  2. Select the Delete Old Schedules button on the Daily Maintenance toolbar.
  3. Select Yes to confirm the deletion or No to discard.
  4. Select Close ☒ (to the right of the Daily Maintenance tab) to close the Daily Maintenance screen.

Result: Schedules older than the configured threshold are permanently removed from the Daily tables.
