Posted on by DannyR 123
Hi Gurus,
 
I'd like to old /Change Log Entries/ records delete though the /Retention Policy/ but the policy setted /NEVER DELETE/ and not ediabled.
 
Also, I tried records delete though the /Data Administration/ but there is no more /Delete Change Log Entries/  
 
How I can delete old /Change Log Entries/ records now? Currently, use Business Central cloud Ver. 22.0 and I am a superuser.
 
Thank you

    Hi, there was a Change Log - Delete report, but it was abandoned by Microsoft.
     
    However, since it is not completely deleted, you can try to open it directly.
     
    Regarding Retention Periods, you can modify them in the following way.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Thank you! Yun ZHu,
     
    I have tried change the retention period but the BC system not allowed this as follows.
    I made disenabled "Change Log Entry" retention policy and tried to modified period but still can not.
    Please advise for this.
     
    Thank you.

    It seems like you're facing a challenge with deleting old Change Log Entries in Business Central due to the Retention Policy restrictions. Have you considered reaching out to Business Central support for guidance on adjusting the policy settings? They might offer a solution that  Drift Hunters aligns with your needs.

    Hi, good day
    I hope this can help you, and give you some hints.

    Change log - "Protected" fields?

    Best Regards
