Answer

Files containing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as patron loads will be automatically deleted from the server after 30 days.

The retention of files in the /xfer/metacoll directory is 90 days. If files less than 90 days old are missing, contact OCLC Support with your OCLC Symbol and a description of the files that are missing. Files between 60 and 90 days old may be redelivered upon request to OCLC Support.

Files will be zipped after seven days.
