Source‐Cleanup

Source Cleanup

Source cleanup removes old source files after a successful backup.

It deletes only files matching your rules.

Folders are never deleted.

Example

Backup source:

C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\G1R

Cleanup rule:

Saved\SaveGames\.sav

Only matching .sav files in this folder are cleaned:

C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Local\G1R\Saved\SaveGames

Other files remain untouched.

Rules

Clean files in the source root:

.sav

Clean files in a source-relative folder:

Saved\SaveGames\.sav

Multiple rules are supported.

Keep newest files

Example:

Keep newest files: 10

Older matching files are deleted.

Files before

Example:

Files before: 2026-07-01

Files modified before this date are deleted.

Files modified on or after this date are kept.

Safety

Source cleanup does not run when:

• The backup fails
• The backup is canceled
• The cleanup settings are invalid
