Purging recording from Amethyst 1.5/1.6
Once the recordings has been archived, it will be purged tfrom the AMETHYST database according to configured days to keep alive.
Auto archive takes place each night at 21h00.
Auto purge takes place each night at 00h00 (if enabled).
If you want to start the archiving before 21h00, you can do a unscheduled archive:
AMETHYST Webadmin Home page in the 'Archiving' block, click on the 'Archive Now' link.
Once unscheduled archived completed, you can do a manual purge.

Under 'Configure Auto Purge' click on the button 'Do Manual Purge', to start the manual purge.
