orphaned files are kept in the database before being set for deletion.
The Clean-up Services preferences also provides you with buttons to :

current Preferences page only, but not other Preferences.
l Apply: This option applies the settings made within the current Preferences page, but
does not close the Preferences dialog.
Note that this setting only impacts how dates are displayed in the Data Model. It does not
change how dates are stored in the Connect database, nor how they are displayed in a
template.
