# Clean up manager

Use the Clean up manager in Remote Desktop Manager to delete deleted history, entry history, and activity logs for a vault or workspace.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
The ***Clean up manager*** allows administrators to delete histories and logs of specific vaults or entire workspaces. Entry history can still be found under ***Reports – Activity logs***.

1. In the ***Administration*** tab of the ribbon, click on ***Clean up manager***.
2. Choose prior to which date the data will be deleted and determine whether to execute the action for a specific vault or for the entire workspace.
3. Select the suppression action(s) to perform. If vault-specific activity or administrative logs are to be deleted, a new ***Backup*** tab will appear allowing for a backup (XML file format) of the data.
4. Click ***Execute***.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="danger" class="hint hint-danger"><p>There is no automatic backup of the <em><strong>Deleted history</strong></em>. It is therefore strongly recommend to make a <a href="/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/file/backup.md">Backup</a> before proceeding.</p></div>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/administration/clean-up-manager.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
