How Long Are Quarantined Files and Logs Kept in cPFence?

By default, cPFence keeps quarantined files and logs for 60 days before they are automatically cleared. You can adjust this behavior by changing the QUARANTINE_DAYS value in settings.

Changing Quarantine Retention Period

There are two ways to update how many days quarantined files and logs are kept:

  1. Using the WebUI: Go to WebUI > System Settings > Adjust cPFence Settings and change the QUARANTINE_DAYS value.
  2. Using the CLI: Open the configuration file with the following command:
nano /opt/cpfence/config.conf

Then modify the line:

QUARANTINE_DAYS="60"

Change the number to your preferred retention period in days, then save and exit.

Tip: Lowering the number helps free disk space faster, while increasing it allows you to keep quarantined files longer for review.
