By default, the global policy will be applied to all builds, however you can override this at either the project or configuration level. Each cleanup policy runs once per day. You can choose when it runs and control which builds and by-products are cleaned up.

Every time the cleanup policy is run it will also apply the cleanup settings for previously cleaned up builds. For example, say your policy only removes the build log and you then change this so that it cleans up every aspect of old builds. By running the cleanup policy again, it will remove all old builds, regardless of whether their build log has already been cleaned up.

Note that build cleanup is permanent : and a cleaned up build cannot be recovered.
